While I don't believe impeachment is in any way reasonable or intelligent at the moment, there is legitimate argument behind the notion that his failure to notify congress prior to the prisoner swap for Bowe Bergdahl was an illegal act.
I don't believe any of his executive orders or the rest of his executive actions have been "illegal", as I don't believe that he did any of them with clear and purposeful intent to violate the constitution but truthfully believed he was acting faithfully in line with the constitution, but I do think there's a reasonable argument to be made that some of his executive orders and actions have potentially been unconstitutional in that they're outside the scope of what the President can do within the realm of our checks and balances.
When the Supreme Court unanimously says you've over reached your authority, does that not count as breaking the law? And it's not like this is the first time the Supreme Court has had to smack down the President's abuse of power.
