"Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office."

This is the problem. Nobody has any idea what the hell "impeachment" actually means.
Marco Rubio is 100% correct:
"Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official."
Impeachment does not in itself remove the official definitively from office; it is similar to an indictment in criminal law, and thus it is essentially the statement of charges against the official.
This was doomed to fail from the start because even smart Americans (and Canadians) did not understand what they were getting into and could not effectively manage their expectations.
