From The Civil War and Reconstruction by J.G.Randall and David Donald. 1969 reprint of 1961 copywrite. D.C.Heath & Company.

Page 616

If the reader will consult those works of political science which compare the American and British governments, he will note that the United States does not have the parliamentary system and that the President is not politically responsible to Congress. To make him virtually so by a process of impeachment, as a matter of custom outside the Constitution, would make the presentation of evidence as to "crimes" largely a matter of form, and would impose an ugly stigma and a lifetime disqualification from office-holding upon a President who might be opposed for merely political reasons. By such a policy the distractions and sensationalism of an impeachment would be injected into a contest between parties or factions.
