Seldom is this expressly conceded, leaving one to wonder whether it has even been considered. It must be understood that an impeachment-initiated process, unlike a criminal proceeding, is not an effort to determine guilt and mete out punishment . The sole purpose is to determine whether, under all the circumstances, it is in the best interest of the United States that this president be compelled to give up the office. A finding of guilt as charged leaves undone the final task of deciding whether removal from office is the best solution for the country. This would be the responsibility of the Senate on a two-thirds majority vote.
