Answer-The Framers of the Constitution created a method to impeach the president of the United States as a way to hold the president accountable for any abuses of power or violations of the law. They wanted to ensure that no one person had too much power and that the government was held to a high standard of integrity and ethical behavior. Impeachment is a way to remove a president from office if they are found to have committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" or other serious offenses.
