Reply #15: Well, the complaint was about his mental state of mind.

which isn't exactly extra-legal. However, the Supreme Court dismissed this complaint without comment. So I guess he would have to engage in more "traditional" crazy behavior to have the Supreme Court decide that a mental fitness examination would be in order.

Impeachment, OTOH, is not extra legal either, nor does it require any such notion a "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt".

It's not a criminal proceeding. There is no presumption of innocence. Hearsay evidence can be presented. In fact, no evidence at all is actually required. The legislature can vote to impeach pretty much on a whim. They can vote to "convict" and remove from office the same way.
