Subject: Re: How true is this?
Impeachment is a political exercise not a criminal punishment as Pelosi so clearly demonstrated. In fact, according to her precedent one can be indicted and impeached within a week if the politicians so desire.

Well, sure, but the "high" crimes still have to have been committed while currently in the office as pres or veep, right?

But as usual, it seems that the Constitution isn't really clear about that:

Article II, Section 4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
