My understanding is that even if Reagan's actions concerning Grenada were
legal from the point of view of the War Powers Act, they were clearly
illegal under international law (specifically the charters of both the
U.N. and the O.A.S.).  Question: is a clear violation of international law
on the part of an elected official grounds for impeachment in the U.S.?

(Please note that I don't expect such an impeachment to take place.  I'm
just wondering about the legality of the matter.)
