Nixon was nearly impeached for similar transgressions.

The authority for the House to impeach the president is found in the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, impeachment is constitutional. I'm not sure where you're going with that.

She's guilty of having violated the above statute while she was an officer of the government, so is therefore LEGALLY ineligible to hold federal office again - per the statute.

The only qualifications for federal office are found in the U.S. Constitution. States may not add qualifications (see U.S. Term Limits Inc. v. Thornton - 1995). Congress may not add qualifications outside of the Constitution (see Powell v. McCormick - 1969). The only qualifications for federal office are found in the U.S. Constitution. Statutes, despite your insistence, do not override the U.S. Constitution.

“The only qualifications for federal office are found in the U.S. Constitution. Statutes, despite your insistence, do not override the U.S. Constitution.”

Hillary Clinton is guilty of literal espionage against the United States. She put our nation’s security at risk while she was employed in one of the highest offices in the land.

Any person, having so egregiously abused the trust of their country in such a heinous way, should forever be barred from being in such a position again.

That is precisely what the statute says.

In my view, there is no conflict between the Constitution and the U.S. Code. Clinton meets the constitutional requirements to hold office, but she is in violation of code 2071, which prohibits her from holding any government office.
