.........isn’t this chart grounds a plenty for impeachment anArticle I, Section 3, describes the Senate’s role:

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

The same section limits the consequences of judgement in cases of impeachment:

Judgement in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgement and Punishment, according to Law.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Sorry, meant to include the foregoing in my post of a few minutes ago.

My belief is that the chart referenced ARGUABLY demonstrates a little or a lot of each of : Treason, Bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
