Well I can surely see why there are no other replies to this post .No one was willing to wade threw it.As near as I can determine this is about the qualifications of the court ,In this case the Senate, that holds the trial.It says nothing about what crimes are necessary to bring about impeachment proceedings.I don't see how it is relevant to our discussion.

Hi Michael D. Cummings; Thanks for posting Federalist #65 on SI. My hard copy is book marked at that chapter.

Conduct unbecoming a President:
Is it not designed as a method of NATIONAL INQUEST into the conduct of public men?

This phrase made made me think of Bill, given his tactics of delay, deny and point fingers:

the advantage to the guilty, from the opportunities which delay would afford to intrigue and corruption

Anybody who thinks this is an accurate description of our President is at least a little morally sick. I think he has publicly broken every one of these "considerations:"

Every consideration that can influence the human mind, such as honor, oaths, reputations, conscience, the love of country, and family affections and attachments, afford security for their fidelity.
