No, because the case *was* made. Indeed, it was open-and-shut.
President Clinton publicaly supported, promoted, and signed the Violence
Against Women Act which enshrined into law the right of a woman accusing a
man of sexual harrassment to pursue the man's sexual curriculum vitae.
When this law was applied to him, however, he held that it should not apply
to him. The Court System, however, including the US Supreme Court
disagreed. Bill Clinton was compelled to testify in the sexual
harrassment lawsuit brought against him. Bill Clinton then committed
perjury.
If a President cannot be impeached for holding himself to be above the very
laws he promoted and signed, then I do not know what possible justification
that there might be.
