    Absolutely. For that matter any one of a huge number of violations of his oath of office qualified.

    More than likely every one of our 45 presidents so far committed multiple impeachable offenses.

    Now this is a VERY realistic perception of truth man. Unfortunately in reality it is what it is and never going to change. This is what we have to work with... nothing less... nothing more.

    Clinton was convicted for lying about an affair. That is why Trump would refuse to testify before Congress- he constantly contradicts himself (is that lying?)

    I am not sure you could tie that directly back to the president but as far as I am concerned every higher up in the chain of command involved of that should have been fired immediately .

    Lincoln,Woodrow Wilson,FDR,Truman,LBJ,Nixon,George H W Bush,Bill Clinton,George W Bush & Barack Obama should have been impeached for sure.

    Everybody listed here definitely committed the most impeachable offenses of all presidents.

    As a practical matter, an impeachable offense is whatever the Congress says it is.

    ...just as, as a practical matter, what is Constitutional is whatever the SCOTUS says it is.

    High crimes and misdemeanors are the contexts of impeachment in English history, however, it is still an undefined and indefinite phrase.

    Whatever the person making the decision thinks it is.

    The threshold question for any court is whether or not they have jurisdiction over the defendant. In this instance, Trump is a private citizen. Therefore, the Senate has no jurisdiction to even conduct a trial on the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. That's why even John Roberts (he is no longer worthy of being addressed by his title) does not wish to preside over the Senate's trial.

    It depends on which set of books they use. We all know they use different sets of rules for THEM and for US.

    The REAL target is US. To get to US, they will do everything in their power to discredit EVERYTHING about Trump because it puts them in a position of power to exert their will with FORCE on ALL of us. Legal? Of course, because they write the laws that they are not beheld to.

    "the election was stolen" <- impeachable offense

    "go home" <- impeachable offense

    Urging Pence to subvert the electoral college by rejecting certified electors (a power Pence did not possess under the law) = an impeachable offense
    We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. "At least," as one man said, "there's one advantage about death; it doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."

    Sure but that's not what they're impeaching him for, because none of them in that building even know what the Constitution even says. (besides 2-3 limited exceptions)
