As applied specifically and firstly to
the President, the Constitution explicitly states that only a
high crime, and not just any crime, is required for
impeachment.


Didn't you leave out something, like and misdemeanors? ER

<states that only a high crime>

So help me in your opinion definition of a high crime according to USA law. I tend to agree Clinton did not commit a high crime re the Monica incident, however I am not sure what a high crime is defined as in the US law that applies to impeachment.
