The Constitution of the United States: Article II – Section 4

Article II – Section 4:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Treason, bribery and misdemeanors are reasonably well defined terms, but I’m curious about the ‘other high crimes’ text. Is this wiggle room that essentially allows Congress determine on their own what constitutes an impeachable offense?
