21 U.S. states will not allow syrian refugees

My point was it doesn't have to be what most courts would consider a criminal offense. It doesn't have to be a law in the books.

That's not what the Constitution says. Reread the link I posted earlier in this thread.  The Constitution specifically names "high crimes and misdemeanors" as causes for impeachment -- and more to the point, no other causes.

In order to bring a charge, you have to, you know, have a charge. That's why Clinton was charged with perjury, rather than, say, being a Democrat. That's because perjury is on the books as being illegal.

I'm still waiting for WoG to enumerate any crime he thinks Obama should be charged with.  Seems to me like he cannot come up with one.

And that's why I posted what I did. The house is not subject to judicial review when impeaching the president or a sitting federal judge. They can call anything they want to a high crime. That doesn't mean they will get a conviction in the senate, but the senate doesn't impeach. They conduct the trial. Impeachment is only the process of bringing charges. In the case of the president and judges the house has complete control over this process. They don't need a law on the books. They can call anything they want a crime, and there is nothing to stop them from doing so.
