"High crimes" = using power not granted, or abusing power that was granted, or refusing to comply with duly enacted laws. 
"Misdemeanors" = conduct unbecoming, bad appearances.  Drunkenness or brawling in public, cursing.

Obama did a few high crimes because he acted where Congress refused to act, but this was only because Congress didn't want to go on record.  Secretly, a majority in Congress agreed with DACA, which is why articles of impeachment were not written for DACA.

But Obama did no misdemeanors.

It's not likely that the constitution would be amended again, but it's not impossible either.

Care to source that definition because I can't find it.

I'm not going to delve into the crimes Obama committed since since I'm more interested in figuring out this definition of 'misdemeanor'. It sounds like you're associating a common use of the word when the literal meaning defined criminal conduct.

As I told another skeptical poster, the Wikipedia article gives some sources. It's not that you should trust Wikipedia, but you should look at the sources they're using and see if those sources are trustworthy and used correctly... Decide for yourself.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
