BTW, “oath of office” is also in the eye of the beholder.
And Dems, if they could, would vote retroactively to impeach George Washington for being a racist.
So I don’t think that charging him with racism would hold up in court.

It would hold up. The Constitution does not provide for any appeals process when it comes to impeachment. The House holds all the power here. The House can impeach for any old reason. Or for no reason at all.
And that’s exactly what the Founders intended. The House has the power to impeach. The Senate has the power to convict. No court can interfere in this process.
