This section sets forth the grounds upon which a president, vice-president and all other civil officeholders may be removed from office. There are reasons for it. One is that there is no "employer" who can fire an elected official for wrongdoing. The impeachment process was put in place to take care of that. Another is that the Framers knew that Congress should not have the power to simply fire a President at its will, or the balance of power between those branches would be tipped in Congress's favor. So, the Constitution gave Congress a limited number of reasons for using the impeachment process. Curiously, the Constitution includes "misdemeanors" as a reason for impeachment and removal. Today a misdemeanor is a very slight criminal offense as opposed to felonies. The word misdemeanor has been construed not to mean those kinds of minor infractions. The word misdemeanor, in the Constitutional sense, is construed to be another word for high crimes.
