I think the Constitution says that an impeachable offense is whatever enough members of the House determine it to be and it does not have involve a violation of the law.

The constitution says "high crimes and misdimeanors". That is pretty explicit that it is has to be a violation of the law. The framers didn't want presidents being impeached due to factions so easily.
