There’s merely chatter about some Republicans wanting to impeach Barack Obama, but congressional Democrats actually took legislative steps towards impeaching Republican president George W. Bush, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace pointed out to Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.).

Jeffries argued that then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi took impeachment off the table, but Wallace noted that John Boehner did the same earlier this week when he called impeachment talk “a scam started by Democrats” and said House Republicans had no plans to do so. Jeffries brushed those comments aside, saying that Boehner has no credibility.

Representative Steve King (R., Iowa) jumped into the discussion to pointed out that prior to Jeffries’s time in Congress, and during the Bush presidency, the Democrat-controlled House Judiciary Committee held hearings about impeachment against Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney.
