That is one opinion off course

You don't appear to have read the article or noticed the .gov suffix on the domain, as you simply repeat the popular layman's misconception of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Impeachment has been used to remove government officers who abuse the power of the office; conduct themselves in a manner incompatible with the purpose and function of their office; or misuse the office for improper or personal gain.6

That covers just about everyone above dog catchers

TD I doubt if anyone will read it, but here is a decent article on the subject.

The Article makes this important point that many overlook because of continually focusing on the “People” involved and not the ideologies that are at stake.

Quote;
The common method for interpreting the Constitution's impeachment provisions stands in some contrast to that of other constitutional provisions. Whereas judicial precedent drives the prevailing understanding of many provisions of the Constitution, impeachment is ESSENTIALLY A POLITICAL PROCESS.

When a person says; “WAKE UP PEOPLE” Trump this and Biden that, it’s obvious that they’ve never taken High level courses in Political Science. They have no idea what the purpose of elections are.

It’s not about Trump, and it’s not about Biden and Harris, it’s about the set of [beliefs and doctrines,] that is; (Political Ideology) - that each party, (Republican, or Democrat) is trying to “ESTABLISH” as the course or direction the, (United States of America) should take.

In one of my junior classes of Political Science, our Professor made an important point that changed everyone’s idea of who to vote For. He said; “Don’t vote Republican, Don’t vote Democrat, and Don’t Vote Man or Woman, and Don’t vote Jack or Bob, instead; Vote the direction “YOU” want the Country to take, because it will be your home, and it will affect your life and your family’s life.

In others words; Do you want more Government or less Government? Do you want Open Borders and allow anyone to come in or do you want Controlled immigration and a screening process before anyone is allowed to become a citizen? Do you want all guns removed from law-abiding citizens or do you want screening laws to prevent criminals from getting guns? Are you for pro-abortion or not? Do you want Corporations to have absolute power over you, or not.

These are just some examples of what is at stake when voting for a particular party.

In order to determine who is aligned with what YOU WANT, you must research, (Not the Person running for office) but the Political Party’s IDEOLOGY.. This is important, because the POLITICAL PARTY you vote into office, is the PARTY that YOU have given the POWER to RULE OVER YOU. Once in office YOU will have to abide by the Party’s IDEOLOGY.

Any Government that becomes Tyrannical, and governs oppressively, unjustly, and arbitrarily; does so because the VOTERS gave the Party the POWER to do so.

The masses don’t vote this way. They Vote on the Person’s CHARACTER, instead of the Party’s IDEOLOGY. .

This is one reason why it has been suggested by the Biden administration that Voting age should be lowered to the age of 16 years old.

@TD: I did read the article. Just because the government or a government website has an opinion, does not mean it is legally interpreted as such.

My interpretation is not just the layman's interpretation, it's according to most, an originalist interpretation. Impeachment was never SUPPOSED to be political, some of the Federalist papers obviously argue as much, but other writers wanted this to be an emergency power when elections weren't feasible. This was written when distributing information and organizing an election would feasibly take at least a year or so. Now we can literally organize an election in weeks and people would know about it in 24h or less.

As I said, how it will be interpreted, depends largely on the Supreme Court, if it ever comes before the court, or if they will simply say "it's a political issue".
