Read this. Here's an excerpt:
George W. Bush, like Richard Nixon, "endeavor[ed] to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency." George W. Bush, like Richard Nixon, "[made] or caus[ed] to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States." (The legalese comes from the first Article of Impeachment against Nixon, passed by the House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974. Faced with certain impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate, Nixon resigned two weeks later.)
Unfortunately, I don't actually expect this impeachment talk to really go anywhere, unless something really dramatic were to happen. ...which would probably require someone pretty high up admitting that they fudged evidence on Iraq to make the case for war. Even then, I would bet that they'll shield Bush from the heat by saying that he never knew the truth.
