The framers did not trust Congress to make good laws.
The framers wanted to ensure that presidents were not removed from office unfairly.

Answer 1

Impeaching a president is a really big deal that has huge consequences for the nation.

Your best answer is the last one: the framers wanted to ensure that presidents were not removed from office unfairly.
