I think it's odd that the onus had been placed on Pelosi to argue the negative on impeachment when the affirmative has not been argued like its proponents think it has. An impeachable offense is a necessary condition for deciding to impeach, not a sufficient condition.

In my view, the key purpose of impeachment is removal. It would not achieve that here. Maybe a purpose of impeachment is to express condemnation of the president's acts. I am skeptical that it would be a particularly effective or useful way to do so.

Replying to @jbarro
The key purpose of impeachment is to pass articles of impeachment. That's the purview of the House. The Senate has a different Constitutional role. If the House believes Trump committed impeachable offenses, then it's their duty to impeach, regardless of whether Senate removes.
