What the Framers Said About High Crimes and Misdemeanors

What the Framers Said About High Crimes and Misdemeanors

At National Review, I discuss what the Framers meant by "other high crimes and misdemeanors." While the phrase includes more than just crimes, it requires an act that causes serious harm to the nation. The Ukraine mess, even if the facts as alleged by the House are true, don't meet that standard.


"The first week of the impeachment trial of Donald Trump focused on whether the Senate would call witnesses such as former national-security adviser John Bolton and Joe and Hunter Biden. But while they would attract lots of commentary and speculation, any new witnesses would not materially affect the final verdict. The critical constitutional question, which both parties have so far failed to persuasively answer, is this: Did the president commit a “high crime or misdemeanor” that justifies removal from office? And both the House accusers and the Trump defense team have sought to answer that question, upon which all depends, by reversing the polarity of their traditional constitutional positions."
