No, it was about lying under oath to Congress, which is different, especially for the president. He was impeached for that very thing, and the impeachment failed. End of story. Had the impeachment succeeded, he could then have been put on trial, and if convicted fined and/or imprisoned.

Here we can agree. To keep my vote Cain needed to come clean. Instead he pulled a Bill Clinton. Remember him wagging his finger in Americas face on TV self righteously lying through his teeth? To me that's as bad as perjury.
And here I agree as well. The court in this case is the voter, and while voters can't remove someone from office they can certainly keep him from getting in.
