I'm not sure that failing to prevent secession is "treason."

Reagan and perhaps HW Bush definitely should have been impeached for Iran-Contra. Nixon and Reagan for their pre-election actions (Nixon probably sabotaged peace talks, while Reagan's talks with Iran was definitely a criminal offense if proven).

Not Reagan(No proof about Iran contra), maybe Bush SR

James Buchanan: Treason
Andrew Johnson: Treason
Rutherford B. Hayes: Appeasing traitors with the "Compromise of 1876"
Woodrow Wilson: Illegal surveillance against radical groups
Harry S Truman: Illegal War in Korea
John F. Kennedy: Illegal attempted invasion of Cuba
Lyndon B. Johnson: Illegal surveillance against political opponents, illegal War in Vietnam
Richard Nixon: Treason, illegal surveillance against political opponents, illegal War in Cambodia
Ronald Reagan: Iran Contra Scandal
George Bush: Illegal War in Kuwait

Korea and the First Gulf War was justified

I said impeachable actions not something you disagree with. Spanish,Mexican,WW1 wars were all declared formally by congress so you cant be impeached for that.
