abstract
  • The six constitutional provisions on impeachment are quoted: Article II, sections 4 and 2; Article I, sections 2 and 3; Article III, section 2. After the House voted in February, 1974 to investigate the possibility of impeaching Nixon, the "Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment" report was prepared to provide information on precedents and constitutional principles. The framers provided no fixed standard for impeachment grounds, and no abstract rules on conduct have been developed by the Supreme Court or through debates in the House. Only a full investigation can develop the facts. The report discusses the significance of the constitutional phrase "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," conviction of which shall result in removal from office.
