Pretty sure that if a sitting president was convicted by the Senate for something that is in fact, not a statutory crime (say, wearing mismatched socks), we would have at minimum an issue for SCOTUS to decide, if not an outright constitutional crisis.
Congress might be *able* to do that, in terms of there being no prior restraint, but it would be recklessly endangering the fabric our system of government is built on.
No, I don't think I'm exaggerating.
