I think its high time we clean that snake pit out. Any federal official can be impeached from office. Breyer seems to feel the COnstitution is an antiquated document. This is an excerpted text from a 1957 Supreme Court Impeachment attempt: Whereas, the Constitution provides in Article I and repeatedly elsewhere in plain, simple words that all legislative powers granted to the United States are vested in the Congress of the United States; and Whereas, a republic is "a government of laws and not of men" in which all laws are established by the people themselves, either by immemorial customs or by their own elected representatives in legislative assemblies established for such purpose; yet, nevertheless, laws established by immemorial customs, (or common law) were not adjusted to and hence were not adopted by the Constitution for the Union, and hence the federal judiciary was given no jurisdiction of such laws. Thus "judicial power" was "extended" by Article III from nothing in the Articles of Confederation to "cases," in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their "authority" in Article III.

Excerpt begins

Whereas, the Constitution provides in Article I and repeatedly elsewhere in plain, simple words that all legislative powers granted to the United States are vested in the Congress of the United States;

and Whereas, a republic is "a government of laws and not of men" in which all laws are established by the people themselves, either by immemorial customs or by their own elected representatives in legislative assemblies established for such purpose;

yet, nevertheless, laws established by immemorial customs, (or common law) were not adjusted to and hence were not adopted by the Constitution for the Union, and hence the federal judiciary was given no jurisdiction of such laws.

Thus "judicial power" was "extended" by Article III from nothing in the Articles of Confederation to "cases," in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their "authority" in Article III.

"Judicial power" was further "extended" in Article III so as to permit the federal judiciary to try "cases and controversies" depending upon the laws of nations and of states, in certain clearly defined and specified instances;

and, Whereas, Article VI of the Constitution plainly provides that nothing except the Constitution itself, laws enacted by Congress in accordance with the Constitution and treaties theretofore existing or which should thereafter be made in accordance with the Constitution, should be the "law of the land" "supreme" over the constitution and laws of the several states;

and, Whereas, the usurpation of power by an officer of government is such misconduct as constitutes a misdemeanor within the meaning of Article II of the Constitution, and the promotion of the cause of and shielding adherents to communism is the giving of aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment;

and Whereas, the following named Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States under the color of their offices and while purporting to exercise powers vested in them as members of the Supreme Court of the United States have unlawfully usurped the powers of the people to amend the Constitution and have exercised legislative powers vested solely in the Congress, or reserved to the states, or to the people
