Does racism fall under the category of "High crimes and misdemeanors"?

The way a lot of people on YA think, that would only apply to white men. If the president were black or a woman it would not apply.

The Constitution states that the grounds for impeachment are "high crimes and misdemeanors." Racism is not a high crime, and the House would probably not impeach on that basis.

We have a lot more reasons for him to be impeached other than being a racist. Treason is a good start.

Then Bush should have been impeached for his lies on the war in Iraq.

You can impeach a president for anything if the impeachment gains enough support from the public and passes through the courts.

No, the constitution says you may only be impeached for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors". Racism is not one of these. It should have caused him to never be elected in the first place.

You couldn't impeach a president for owning slaves, so no.
