Agreed, and impeachment is a democratic process, a vote, protected since the Constitution. It predates the actual vote for president that we know now. Originally there was only the Electoral College.
Fun fact: Washington was twice elected unanimously. He had many enemies after his first term, and he didn’t WANT a second, but everyone agreed that he was the only candidate capable of respected leadership. The US was simply too new & vulnerable for anyone else to put their hat in the ring. His enemies begged him to accept a second term, despite his age & increasing health problems.
