"To the best of my ability" seems to be the keywords, and if the only powers that be that can do anything (the House of Representatives or the Courts) thought that he has committed an act of Treason or High Crime they have had a number of years to prosecute the matter. Could it be that niether of the powers think they have enough evidence with which they could prosecute an Impeachment or a Criminal case?
