I believe it's a safe assumption that they were trying to make sure that only serious crimes were to be impeachable offenses.

Serious in relation to what? Would you consider speeding a serious crime? What if the captain of a large ship were speeding in the open ocean? would that be serious? What if the captain of a large ship were speeding in iceberg infested waters, would that be a crime? Would it be serious? Should such a captain be a captain? Is there a difference between a drunk driver and a drunk bus driver?

Would you consider that reckless behavior? Is reckless behavior that results in an extended national distraction from important issues serious? Would it be naive to presume that such behavior, if disclosed would result in a major crisis? Can a man that engages in reckless behavior be trusted to lead the most powerful nation on earth?
