I doubt it ever would have happened...
1. Bush probably wouldn't have won if Gingrich had still been Speaker. The election was so close that ads tying him to Gingrich (even if they were bogus) could've made the difference.
2. Even if impeachment hadn't brought down Gingrich, something else probably would've...many members of the caucus were unhappy with him and as much as I like him, it was probably inevitable that he would bring about his own downfall.
3. Gingrich may have just voluntarily stepped down rather than deal with a second President Bush
Now if it actually had happened, who knows? I think it would've been far more interesting (and probably better for the country) than what we got (i.e. Hastert just doing whatever Bush told him).
