BTW, "high crimes and misdemeanors" refers simply to crimes and misbehavior while in high office.
"Demeanor" = "behavior"
"Misdemeanor" means "misbehavior", in the language of the people who wrote the Constitution. For example, Federal judges have been imeached and kicked off the bench for repeatedly coming to court drunk... even though getting drunk isn't a crime. "Misbehavior" like that is enough to get you impeached and convicted.
