Bush "is the first President to admit to an impeachable offense."

From a letter from Senator Barbara Boxer to four presidential scholars asking if Nixon’s White House counsel John Dean is correct in his statement that Bush is “the first president to admit to an impeachable offense.”

“On Sunday, December 18, former White House Counsel John Dean and I participated in a public discussion that covered many issues, including this surveillance. Mr. Dean, who was President Nixon’s counsel at the time of Watergate, said that President Bush is ‘the first President to admit to an impeachable offense.’ Today, Mr. Dean confirmed his statement.”
