Can Donald Trump Be Impeached?

The Senate as a court of impeachment for the trial of Andrew Johnson.
"It’s really hard to impeach a president. The founders included the provision, from the very start, as the weakest, 'break the glass in case of emergency' mechanism for reining in an out-of-control executive. He was already subject to a four-year term, so he would remain answerable to the people, and to two other branches of government, which could box him in constitutionally. But the founders’ fear of creeping monarchism — the very reason for their revolution — and their deep realism about human nature led them to a provision, rooted in English constitutional precedent, whereby a rogue president could be removed from office by the legislature during his term as well. At the same time, it’s clear they also wanted a strong executive, not serving at the whim of Congress, or subject, like a prime minister, to a parliamentary vote of 'no confidence.' He was an equal branch of government, with his own prerogatives, empowered, in Hamilton’s words, to conduct his office with 'decision, activity, secrecy and dispatch.' He stood very much on his own feet. And so the impeachment power was both strong and weak. ..."
