<<It is overturning an election. And that is how the founders regarded it. >>

In the Federalist Papers and other documents published by the founding fathers, their understanding of impeachment was fairly well documented. It had nothing to do with overturning an election and everything to do with a political cleansing when someone became abusive of their elected position.

The question is still open as to whether Clinton's actions qualify as abuse of power.
