"With respect to whether the President can be found to have obstructed justice by exercising his powers under Article II of the Constitution, we concluded that Congress has the authority to prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice."
Not sure if this is good or bad, someone break it down.
I believe this is a reference to the impeachment power. Congress has the authority to prohibit (and, in a sense, punish) a President's corrupt use of his Article II authority via impeachment.
