21 U.S. states will not allow syrian refugees

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.

As I said, I know this. But again, bringing charges means charging the official with "high crimes or misdemeanors". Certainly some obtuse representative can try to charge a President with chewing the wrong flavor of gum, but whether that firstly will carry any weight in the House, or secondly result in a conviction in the Senate, is so farfetched as to be impossible. And that's not to mention the SCOTUS's appellate function in those cases, which is implicit in its ability to adjudicate all appeals of convictions.

It follows that a crime, be it high or simply a misdemeanor, should be filed -- otherwise any "conviction won't be obtained, or if somehow obtained, won't pass review. And I'm still waiting for WoG's preferred charge.
