I can lie my head off and only incur consequences IF you happen to catch me and have some sort of power over me in which case you may fire me, void my lease, throw me out of the club or what ever. You can not put me in jail.
However if I should lie to the court I go to jail. As I said perjury is a blow against the very foundation of our legal system.
Impeachment is only for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Perjury is indeed a High Crime. Your approval is not required.

Don't get all self righteous on me now. I fully realize my approval means nothing, as it should...
The Congress, as we know, didn't impeach him so clearly they realized that if they stuck wild Bill in jail they all were in serious trouble because everyone of them would have been dealing with implications/allegations of all sorts that would have threatened their careers...inherently their actions prove my theory right despite what legally should have been done...
