10. Anyone that cares is fully aware of his medieval mentality - not to mention his just basic stupidity.

I appreciate that "high crimes and misdemeanors" means whatever a majority of the House decide it does. Nevertheless, disagreement with the policies of a department secretary does not meet any historical definition of the term. The Constitution provides that

. . . no Person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the Members (Senators) present.
That certainly suggests that a crime is required to impeach.

I doubt that all Democratic representatives would vote to impeach. There is no possibility that a super majority of the Senate would vote to convict.

A meaningless attempt at impeachment would make the Democrats appear small.
