How is an extramarital affair an impeachable offense?

Why is someone's personal life a big issue in politics?

It's not. However, lying about it under oath in sworn testimony given as part of a sexual harassment investigation and then actively interfering with said sexual harassment investigation to cover up that you lied under oath is, the impeachable offenses being perjury and obstruction of justice.

It is not.  But lying under oath in a court case is perjury.  That should be impeachable.

It's bad, but it's not a crime.  Are you talking about B. Clinton?  He was impeached for perjury, not adultery, as far as I remember.  He was disbarred in at least one State because of it.  And he has credible accusations of rape too, not during his presidency that I know of.  But he had too much power to be charged with rape.

When you are doing illegal things to cover it up. But How  many affairs is too much for you ? IF   is that many  would that idiot be susceptible to  a spy?  I prefer my candidate to think with  the slightly bigger head.

Biden never has affairs. Just feels.
