- p.s. Well you might ask, "how do we know which crime is
- impeachable beforehand?"
-
- Good question! One which I don't know the answer to. :-)
-
- However had I thought about this a bit sooner I would have
- modified ny interpretation as to, "a person could be impeached
- of a crime even if he has been pardoned by the President for the
- same crime."
-
- The bottom line is that the president is not given the power
- to pardon an impeachable crime.
-
- Of course this is what I think would have been more logical and
- obviously has no relation to reality, so you may not take it
- very seriously. :-)
