From lawyers I’ve talked to the Supreme Court has give the House wide lattitude on what it considers impeachable behavior. From Wikipedia: Defendants challenged the use of these committees, claiming them to be a violation of their fair trial rights as this did not meet the constitutional requirement for their cases to be "tried by the Senate". Several impeached judges, including District Court Judge Walter Nixon, sought court intervention in their impeachment proceedings on these grounds. In Nixon v. United States (1993),[18] the Supreme Court determined that the federal judiciary could not review such proceedings, as matters related to impeachment trials are political questions and could not be resolved in the courts.[19] https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/sec... |
