Robert G. Natelson (Independence & Montana Policy Institutes) has posted Impeachment: The Constitution's Fiduciary Meaning of 'High . . . Misdemeanors' (19 Federalist Soc'y Rev. 68 (2018)) (5 pages) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This essay explores the meaning of the phrase “high … Misdemeanors” in the Constitution's Impeachment Clause. After a review of 18th century sources, it concludes that the phrase denotes breaches of fiduciary duties.
I posted a link to this article back around the time it was first published, but it's now available on SSRN and seems of particular relevance at the moment.
