Of course you forget to mention that Reagan's acts of war against
Grenada, without a formal declaration of war is unconstitutional and an
impeachable offense.

This is not correct.  The U.S. Constitution states that the President is the
Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.  Furthermore, Congress has
authorized actions of this sort via the War Powers Act, which gives the
President a free hand for the first 60 days of any conflict.

Any calls for impeachment are probably made for propaganda value (but I won't
rule out idiocy as an explanation) and are likely aimed at the voters back
home.
