<< there is unfortunately little chance that many Congresspersons will take up your suggestion. >> (Congress voting their consciences)

Out of curiosity, what do you think the result would be if they did the "unthinkable" and did vote their consciences?

I don't believe there was, or is an "impeachment strategy". Impeachment is a process that was forced on the congress by the actions of the president, and the presentment of the IC. IMO they would have been derelict in their duty if they had NOT addressed the issues.

Congressional Moderates Form the Moderate Caucus

WASHINGTON, DC - Moderates on Capital Hill have announced that they have joined together to combat partisanship and have formed the Moderate Caucus.

One member of the caucus told BNN that the caucus would push for positive changes within Congress. When asked how the caucus planned to do this he said, "We're not sure yet. We feel that strong opinions and principles have created the current negative climate in Congress. We are still looking for a strong middle-of-the-road plan of attack."

When BNN sought a statement from their spokesperson we were told that none of their members wanted to appear like extremists by seeking a leadership role within the caucus. When BNN asked what issues the caucus wanted to address we were told that none of the members of the caucus felt strongly about any particular issue. They preferred to wait and see what other members of Congress felt before they took a position.

More on this story as soon as details become available.
