Reports say that Gov. Mark Sanford does not face the possibility of impeachment.

A House panel by a convincing 6-1 vote rejected an impeachment resolution Wednesday and instead chose to formally rebuke Sanford. The measure says he brought “ridicule, dishonor, disgrace and shame” to the state he was twice overwhelmingly elected to lead. The panel said the governor had lost credibility, but they weren’t ready to fire him.
