I don't know the legal requirements but my sense is that regardless of constitutional language, an impeachable offense is whatever offends congress. - Max Mar 27, 13:23 9
- Treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 27, 13:26 8
  - ooh, comma! "other high crimes and misdemeanors" or "other high crimes, and misdemeanors"? -- nm - Max Mar 27, 13:29 3
    - "High crimes and misdemeanors" is taken as a single term, and was generally understood to mean an abuse of authority or official misconduct - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 27, 13:34 2
      - Yup. And "high" referred to the status of the official, not the status of the crime. - ReluctantCynic Mar 27, 13:42 1
        
        or the state of inebriation! -- nm - Max Mar 27, 13:49
  - right, "misdemeanors" provides so much room it's not much guidance. I just don't know if there's something more procedural in the US Code. -- nm - Max Mar 27, 13:28 3
    - I'd love for him to be convicted for a misdemeanor and then try to get away with still being President. Hey, it was only larceny, not *grand* larceny! -- nm - Mop Mar 27, 13:38
    - Catch him cheating at golf, that's the only thing that will get the corporate rulers riled up -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 27, 13:32 1
      - Trump promised not to play golf. He's too busy presidentin'. -- nm - Mop Mar 27, 13:39
Sold our country to the Russians for a good deal on some condos=HERO -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 27, 13:17 2
- This is Trump. The deal on the condos was bad, and you know it. -- nm - Mop Mar 27, 13:21 1
  - He's like the guy that sold Jack the magic beans -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 27, 13:24
Perjury. -- nm - Andie Mar 27, 13:15
