Mike, I think the reasoning for "non Impeachment" should be based on protecting the strength of the Presidential Office, not a question of breaking the law per se. If we indeed impeach based on the misdeed assumed, we will end up in a situation were the will of the people (who voted the man in knowing that his moral standards are less then perfect, and fully knowing the man is itching behind his zipper) can be too easily subverted by the opposing party (then having a majority in Congress). A politician aspiring to the Presidency simply cannot be "holy" enough not to have "skeletons" in his closet. Why, even the purist Carter "Sinned in his heart". The impeachment process should be, IMHO, reserved for the rare case when the Executive is indeed found using the power of his office to tyranically muzzle the opposition (which I believe was really the "causus Belli" in the Nixon case), and of course for those instances (treason and high crime) specifically cited by the founding fathers.
