Mhm... for those who take it literally: Is it valid to DISMISS a president for adultery? Why/Why not?

No, it belongs to their personal life and this shouldn't interfer at all. It would be diferent if he preaches values such as family and religion, but I do not believe in these values.

Unless adultery is against the law, it does not meet the constitutional requirements for impeachment.
Article II Section 4. "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
Now, if you're asking if that is a valid reason not to vote for the incumbent on re-election, sure. That's up to each individual voter.

no, but lying under oath is a valid reason to kick out a president. The president is supposed to be an example to us not some jackass looking for a cigar. "Inhale to the Chief"

I wouldn't kick a president unless I wanted to be put on the SS watch list and probably put on a no-fly list as well as be brought down for questioning or worse, regardless of who the President happens to be banging.

Kicking a President is a bad idea.

If starting a war under false pretenses isn't, than no. Besides, adultery does not make him less likely to make good political decisions.

With the moral Republicans in control of Congress at the time they saw this as the opportunity to get at Clinton. Yes what he did by lying was wrong impeachment was wrong. This had to deal with sex and you know how Republicans get upset when people have sex.

I don't think the Secret Service would let you get close enough to the president to kick him.

Kicking is considered assault.
The Secret Service will have you dead on the floor before your foot reaches Presidential flesh.
So, kick in your fantasies, my friend.
