"So everytime a different party runs Congress they will impeached the President, yeah that's what the Fathers had in mind."

Really, you give baboons a bad name.

First and foremost, the Founding Fathers were opposed to political parties. If you had half a brain, you'd know that. So in their scheme, what you are describing couldn't happen, the basis wouldn't exist.

Two, they set up that the House would impeach and the Senate would do the trial for a reason. The Senate was supposed to be insulated from swings in opinion. So would be more likely to do what is right for the country instead of for petty reasons.

Admittedly, they were naive.

My Constitution has lasted for over 200 years. So I don't know what you are talking about.
