If you impeach Trump, you go against the wishes of the Grand Electors and their infinite wisdom and their absolutely necessary and indispensable role in democracy. Really 2016 showed that the electors part of the EC is absolutely pointless. I have no faith they would vote against anyone so whatever safeguard they are supposed to be doing is obviously not going to happen. If we are keeping the asinine electoral college they might as well just instantly award the points instead of having people actually vote based on the state elections. The fact that not one voted against Trump is just another mark against our absolutely poo poo system of government.

I'd like to think that the idea of "let's pardon this criminal president in the spirit of healing" is as dead as the idea of bipartisanship. I would have to think that if Trump did something SO bad and illegal that the GOP in congress actually impeached him, it would be political suicide to let him get away with it.

I assumed that meant impeached and convicted leading to a removal from office.

Impeachment is the process of bringing charges so both Clinton and Jackson were impeached. The votes to convict failed in congress.
