Because of the importance of the presidential office it is not deemed wise to try a man for a crime while he is President. If an accusation of crime is involved, the President is to be removed (because of the crime) and then, when he is no longer President, tried for the crime in the ordinary courts. Under these circumstances the removal proceeding itself requires a trial. Except in the case of acquittal there are in fact two trials. The situation that would result if a President should be removed by the impeachment process and then acquitted in the courts would be anomalous; but such is the constitutional procedure, and the possibility of this situation but adds to the solemn importance of the Senate's judicial function. If it be felt that the President ought to be subject to political removal by Congress through a method dissociated from the taint of crime, this making his position analogous to that of an English prime minister, the answer would seem to be that this should be accomplished by an amendment to the Constitution, but that the constitutional framework as it stands intentionally makes the President independent of Congress.

The judgement of the historians is don't impeach if you can't convict. The republican kindergarden teacher has left the room and the kids have gotten out of hand.
