TRUTH: Removal from office was the intent of the founders: "[The American] colonies largely limited impeachment to officeholders [...] and the available punishment for impeachment was limited to removal from office." SOURCE: Constitution.congress.gov
The framers specifically based their requirements for impeachment on the English practice, except they altered it to only apply to public officials."The Constitution established an impeachment mechanism exclusively geared towards holding public officials, including the President, accountable. This contrasted with the English practice of impeachment, which could extend to any individual save the Crown ." SOURCE: Constitution.congress.gov
