If it was a quid pro quo, yes.
Interesting, so for example DUI or manslaughter wouldn’t fall under this. What’s unique about quid pro quo scenarios that would make other pretty serious crimes OK?
It depends on the specific felony. "Impeachment is a powerful tool. It must be closely limited to situations of conduct that inflicts serious harm on the public and that seriously compromises the officer’s ability to function in office. Otherwise, it could undermine our constitutional system of separation of powers and thwart our fundamental commitment to democracy. The Framers wisely recognized these dangers and added the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors” precisely to limit the scope of the impeachment power to these most egregious circumstances and to prohibit its use beyond them.”
