If the impeachment is over something criminal in nature, yeah. It can also just be about ethics, or even non-ethical shit. Clinton getting head was hypothetically impeachable, but not because it was criminal. Arguably it wasnt even unethical, other than him being married, assuming that she was qualified and performing her job otherwise. It was just a bad look

Clinton's impeachment was for perjury after he testified that he did not have "sexual relations" with her. The Senate didn't convict because before he testified he asked the House committee to define terms and they defined "sexual relations" as intercourse, so under the definition they gave he did not lie about it.
