Burke was also celebrated the Glorious Revolution of 1688, where the English replaced their king, unless I'm mistaken. Certainly didn't seem to oppose removing officials if their leadership was contrary to the national character.

I think a decent amount of this comes down to the meta-narrative. Even if one thinks what Mr Trump did was an abuse of a power, one might not think it was to the extent that he is a clear a present danger that needs to be jettisoned before next year’s election. 1/2

And that then, in voting to impeach, you are giving impression that the procedure of this impeachment can be taken as precedent. Does danger of the President being in office another year out way the danger of giving this process the stamp of approval? 2/2

Founders were primarily concerned with public officials giving allegiance to foreign powers. IMO the optics of this are terrible, but I don't believe it rises to the level of impeachment.

Going through this process so close to an election paints the picture that the Dems really aren't confident they can beat Trump in 2020. They have probably the worst class of candidates in forever.
