Opinion | Steve Vladeck: Trump tweet about impeachment confuses political conclusions with legal ones. - NBCNewsTHINK
This doesn’t mean that Congress should remove government officers willy-nilly. Ever since the 1805 impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase, Congress has understood that partisan political disagreements, no matter how severe, should not alone provide a basis for impeachment. But even that understanding is a norm, not a rule, and there is plenty of daylight between impeachment for pure partisan disagreement and impeachment for misconduct in office that is not necessarily criminal.
Whether Trump broke any criminal laws is therefore formally irrelevant to whether the House of Representatives has the constitutional authority to impeach him. The House certainly can impeach the president — or any other government officer — for non-criminal misconduct. The harder question is whether the House should do so.
