> I'm really confused by how impeachment works in the U.S.
Impeachment requires a crime.
Lying isn't usually a crime, and as best I can tell hasn't been one any of the times Trump has done it (.. yet?). It also hasn't been a crime any of the times Obama has done it.
Failure to give up business interests is breaking precedent and confounding ethicists, but also doesn't seem to be illegal.
When we come up with something criminal (and especially if it rises to the level of "high crimes") we can hope Trump gets impeached. As yet, I don't see it, and certainly not in your examples.
