> So Green et al have proof of criminal activities Trump engaged in? <
Impeachment is a political process. No proof of actual criminal activity is needed. The Founders gave the House the power to decide just what an impeachable offense is. No appeal is possible.
Benjamin Franklin once remarked that the House could legally impeach a president just because the president had a bad temper.
So yeah, the House could impeach Trump For the high crime of having a funny haircut. That would be perfectly legal, and constitutional. Would the American people be okay with that? And would the Senate convict? Thats another story.
Impeachment (House) and removal (Senate) are both tied to high crimes and misdemeanors.
Dems have to provide what these are or they need to be impeached.
Without Dems providing what the high crimes and misdemeanors are one could be impeached for having bad hair.

Your forgetting, the people have a say in this by one means or another.
The vote to remove would be the crucial thing, because we have known ever since the Dems got in charge of the House that their goal was to impeach Trump. Forget about running the country, responding to your constituencies, etc...well, actually, since their only constituencies are the media, leftist unions, transgenders...maybe the Dems actually are responding to them.
But the majority of Americans (including good, hardworking legal immigrants) are not liking this.
