"Obviously, it can be done for non-political crimes done during office, but I note some language that would seem to make possible impeachment for felonies, and possibly even misdemeanors committed prior to the office being obtained."

Thank-you. I was pretty sure that a public official could be impeached for crimes committed prior to their election to current public office.

Good morning.... Have you talked to your buds over at the watch to see when the next major announcement is forthcoming? Maybe early next week, the week after, or today? You do have friends over there don't you?

Name somebody who has been impeached over something he did before he was in office.

And, btw, if Clinton had gone to trial and been found guilty in the Paula Jones case, he would NOT have been impeached for that.
