Speaking of intent, calls for impeachment began almost three years ago in 2017 and its been going on relentlessly ever since. Reminds me of what Gerald Ford wrote in 1970. Which according to his opinion the President really serves at the pleasure of congress not the electorate.
"What, then, is an impeachable offense? The only honest answer is that an impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history; conviction results from whatever offense or offenses two-thirds of the other body considers to be sufficiently serious to require removal of the accused from office..." Congressman Gerald Ford, 116 Cong. Rec. H.3113-3114 (April 15, 1970).
