thanks...

Impeachment is a political tool...there is no punishment attached except removal from office upon conviction and no longer being allowed to hold a position of honor in the U.S/

can’t mention felony as apart of the definition as it’s already mentioned...

“High Crimes and Misdemeanors” are in addition to felonies...

it’s whatever the House says it is...
