Cool. You want any old female Alzheimer's patient to run the country. As long as she's female, doesn't matter about her health and mental capabilities.
Personally, I want someone who doesn't lie about being shot at. Someone who doesn't feint on stage. Someone who won't have coughing fits during questioning. But that's just me.
don't forget crooked.
She's getting old. When you get older you will be crooked too. Or perhaps you already are.
In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:
Exceeding the constitutional bounds of the powers of the office.
Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.
Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.

I don't think being convicted is the determining factor in being a criminal or not, I think conviction as law is concerned would seal it as a label for someone who is a criminal, but I don't think it's a requirement for one to be considered a criminal...criminal can mean morally wrong or even disgraceful.
Yes, it is the defining factor. Otherwise you advocate for oppression under the mob's definition of morality or disgrace.
if I interpret this correct, one could be a criminal in the eyes of one group of people, yet be normal or not considered criminal in the eyes of another group, especially if the second group has differing morals or value set than the first group? I guess that is correct...I still don't think a legal conviction is a requirement for someone to be or become a criminal though.
Jews were considered disgraceful and their actions morally bankrupt. Does that make the actions of the Nazis acceptable?
in the eyes of the Nazi's (group2) I assume the jews would have been "criminals", now does it mean the Nazi's that were never convicted of a crime yet performed criminal acts weren't criminals???
(Hate to pull the Jew card and do not believe that is what you advocate for, but it is the perfect example to illustrate the logical flaws in that line of thinking)

Sorry to interrupt the Two Minutes of Hate, but what was she confused about, exactly?
She thinks she's a dog.
Clinton suffered a severe fall in early December 2012, which gave her a concussion and put her in the hospital for several weeks, postponing her planned congressional testimony on her response to the Benghazi attacks. She returned to work on January 7, 2013, when State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said she was “fully recovered.” But an e-mail released by Judicial Watch earlier this week showed top aide Huma Abedin admitting on January 26 that Clinton was “often confused.”

It was the second time in as many days that Kennedy had to explain State Department policies to Clinton. In a January 25, 2013 e-mail titled “Benghazi,” she appeared unaware that the department was warning Americans not to travel to the embattled Libyan city. “Since the Brits, Germans and Dutch have told their citizens to leave Benghazi, why aren’t we doing the same?” she asked her top staff, citing a report from NPR. Kennedy explained that the department had already told American citizens not to travel to Benghazi on January 2 — a warning they had reiterated on January 24, just one day before her e-mail.
