>>If the founders wanted to allow impeachment for any reason Congress saw fit, so long as the required vote threshold in each House of Congress could be met, they would have provided something like this: "and for such Offenses to the Common Good as Congress, by the aforementioned vote in each House, shall determine".<<

In practice would there be any difference? Is it not the congress that gets to decide what 'high crimes etc' are?

Completely salacious and uncalled for remark follows (minors and the sensitive will please skip).

Perhaps Starr and friends have misread the constitution: perhaps they read: 'treason, bribery, and high creams (ala SNL)…'.
