Achilles, your reading is absolutely correct.

And of course you are right that the is no comma between "crime" and "misdemeanor" in the original.

If the founders wanted to allow impeachment for any reason Congress saw fit, so long as the required vote threshold in each House of Congress could be met, they would have provided something like this:

"and for such Offenses to the Common Good as Congress, by the aforementioned vote in each House, shall determine"
