>>The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct peculiar to officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, and refusal to obey a lawful order. None of which he could be rightly charged with. And that’s the problem. You are construing the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors” improperly. It it critical that you understand the context: Three separate but co equal branches. Not a Congress that could remove a president it doesn’t like. The phrase was adopted from the Brits and dated back centuries, had been used many times for impeachments. The common thread was abuse of power. Abuse of power. It has to be there. And whatever you don’t like about hi, does not constitute HIS abuse of power.
