Uh, I don’t think so. The Constitution provides a reason for impeachment or as it is often referred to in the proprietorial world, a “predicate” for the impeachment. Absent the predicate there can be no Constitutionally valide impeachment. It would be dismissed by the Scotus, and only the intense desire of the Court not to intervene would save the articles. They have to name a “predicate” in the articles. That is the reason there is no impeachment.
