Isn’t it true that there is no specific definition of high crimes and misdemeanors? I think all agree that a speeding ticket is not a high crime, but otherwise there is leeway.

Wasn’t one of Nixon’s articles of impeachment, an abuse of power, which they didn’t really specifically define?

True on both counts. Mad Maxine Waters stated that 'impeachment is whatever we say it is' (paraphrasing). Call that a blind squirrel quote as she is correct on that point (as we are learning today).

As to the Nixon impeachment, you may be referring to the 'endeavoring to use the IRS" charge, written by a young and still corrupt Hillary Rodham. Keep in mind, the meaning of endeavoring: He didn't really do it, but he wanted to and asked about it.
