Congressional Report: Bush Broke the Law

The Washington Post today reported:
A report by Congress's research arm concluded yesterday that the administration's justification for the warrantless eavesdropping authorized by President Bush conflicts with existing law and hinges on weak legal arguments.
If the program conflicts with the law, Bush apparently has broken the law. I believe this qualifies as a high crime and misdemeanor. The constitution clearly states that "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." The president does not have the right to initiate a program such as this without the consent of Congress or the Judiciary!
