Ezra Klein makes the case that impeachment is whatever Congress says it should be - that's what the Framers intended. I think he's right. The necessity for a 2/3rds vote in the Senate necessitates that it's not a simple vote of no-confidence. It has to be manifest that the President should be removed from office.
What is unquestionably clear is that Trump has absolutely zero business being President. It was clear before the election, but the Republican electorate decided that beating Hillary was more important than having a president who wasn't mentally, emotionally and temperamentally unfit to hold the office.
I think Klein is right up and down the argument.
I also think not enough Congressional Republicans have the spine God gave an earthworm.
