unfortunately they've gone in pretty hard on the "high office means lower standards of behavior" theory of accountability in government in spite of it being pretty obvious the constitution tries to push in the opposite direction
honestly I feel like one of the big problems is the way documents, especially political documents, were written in the late 18th century, in that they had a very strong inclination toward "well all educated people know what this expression means, so we don't need to spell it out laboriously" which... was probably true for a while
to my understanding, at least, when that was an expression used commonly in law and politics, it didn't mean "crimes that are especially terrible" but "behavior and/or disrespect for the law that are not befitting the dignity of one's office"
