The claimed behavior is a felony - and one that is clearly related to her job (since the mortgage(s) would be part of the financial system that she oversees). That would pretty clearly constitute "cause" for her firing (if, ironically, not enough to block someone from the presidency)...

... but she hasn't been indicted (let alone convicted) of that crime. So it's a tougher sell.
