Constitution was created September 1787.
It was adopted 21 June 1788.
First Congress met from 4 March 1789 til 4 March 1791.
There were no federal crimes on the books.
From a Harvard Law Review on the subject. "The majority view is that a president can legally be impeached for 'intentional, evil deeds' that 'drastically subvert the Constitution and involve an unforgivable abuse of the presidency'even if those deeds didn't violate any criminal laws."

For the first time, I've heard Paul Butler and Laurence Tribe both explained this today.
I noticed too that Laurence has some tweets on this. Which is good.
I've known it after research for nearly a month myself.
