"There must be a high crime or high misdemeanor. Period."
There is. Period.

"High," in the legal and common parlance of the 17th and 18th centuries of "high crimes," is activity by or against those who have special duties acquired by taking an oath of office that are not shared with common persons. [5] A high crime is one that can be done only by someone in a unique position of authority, which is political in character, who does things to circumvent justice. The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors," used together, was a common phrase when the U.S. Constitution was written and did not require any stringent or difficult criteria for determining guilt but meant the opposite. The phrase was historically used to cover a very broad range of crimes.

I can't block approved foreign aid. My governor can't block it. Both my senators, and all the Calif. representatives combined can't block it. Only the president can do that.

I expect the prosecution will skewer him and serve him as shish kebab to the assembled audience, and to the billions of viewers around the world, when stomachs get ready to rumble.
