That last argument may have a slim chance of holding up in court but not impeachment. The term "High crimes and misdemeanors" did not mean just crimes to written laws. When the costitution was written there was no such a thing as a crime called a misdemeanor. It simply mean't MISDEED. Back then a crime could be a crime if you convenced a judge and jury it was a crime written or not. This was corrected by our Constitution for everything except civil suits and impeachments. Because they do not threaten the citizen with "life or limb". We have impeached judges for as little as profanity and drunkenes on the job. So we should be able to impeach a president for adultery. The right to define adultery belongs to congress not the president.
