Most impeachment efforts over time have, indeed, either started or concluded as mostly partisan efforts.

Dog bites man.

The framework for impeachment of all government officials is being obliterated by this political attack. Now, whenever an official becomes unpopular with a party for whatever purpose, a fishing expedition can set out to find something to remove him/her from office.

After this effort by the democrats crashes and burns there needs to be a re-writing of the law regarding impeachment....as it stands it is far too fuzzy and needs to be clarified and up-dated....otherwise we will see the current mess repeated....as any time one party simply does not like who was elected...then they can immediately begin to look for reasons to impeach aka 'the President serves at the pleasure of the congress'....outrageous but that is exactly what democrats seem to believe.....that they have the power to nullify a election because they happen to not like who was elected.

It would take a constitutional amendment which will never happen.

The Framers also warmed about foreign interference in US elections....which trump got away with it once and now is using tax payer money to extort a foreign country to get dirt on his opponent....THAT IS ABUSE OF POWER!
