Achilles, The Founding Fathers (the guys who wrote the U.S. Constitution) intentionally left the wording of impeachable offenses vague because they knew that there would be no way they could predict what could be considered a "high crime, or misdemeanor" in the future. The fact of the matter is that impeachable offense could include anything from murder to sleeping on the job. The only guy who was ever tried in the Senate for removal from the Office of President was Andrew Johnson. He was tried simply because he fired his Secretary of War (now Sec of Defense), hardly what we would call a crime today. Hope that helps, -John
