Gravitas - is a Latin word meaning high seriousness (as in a person's bearing or in the treatment of a subject). The Cambridge International Dictionary defines the meaning as: "seriousness and importance of manner, causing feelings of respect and trust in others." A more modern use is identified by Bill Safire in his "New Political Dictionary." Therein, he defines "gravitas" as: "political heft; weight or substance as a candidate, based on experience or intellectual capacity, or the seriousness with which the public treats his candidacy." It goes to show that many "journalists" and political puppets do not quite know what the word "gravitas" is supposed to mean. Because, no matter which definition is preferred, many of the TV talking heads used it somewhat incorrectly. They just followed orders as best as they could, in other words.

The term can include the misapplication of funds intended for another purposes, e.g., the misapplication of public money. . ."
misconduct in Office is defined as: "Corrupt misbehavior by an officer in the exercise of the duties of the office or while acting under color of the office; includes any act or omission in breach of a duty of public concern by one who has accepted public office."misfeasance is "the doing of a proper act in a wrongful or injurious manner; the improper performance of an act which might have been lawfully done."
malfeasance “The unjust performance of some act which the party had no right, or which he had contracted not, to do.”
misfeasance “The performance of an act which might lawfully be done, in an improper manner, by which another person receives an injury.”
“The neglect or failure of a person to do some act which he ought to do. The term is not generally used to denote a breach of contract, but rather the failure to perform a duty towards the public whereby some individual sustains special damage, as where a sheriff fails to execute a writ.“When a legislative act requires a person to do a thing, its nonfeasance will subject the party to punishment; as, if a statute require the supervisors of the highways to repair such highways, the neglect to repair them may be punished.”
Every member of every level of government takes an oath to support and defend our Constitution, as written. Any government official who does not is in violation of the supreme law of the land.
