To be fair to the framers, the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors is still the standard. Just because the Dems ignored it, doesn’t mean they had a bad framework.
I do agree that it should be a high 2/3rd threshold for both bodies. That’ll all but eliminate partisan impeachment.

What exactly does it take to change impeachment rules? Seems like both sides should be able to see the dumbassery of this.

The framers of the Constitution were not imagining impeachment being used as a political tool by a particular party.
And this actually held true for most of history, but today politicians (the Dems specifically) are able to get away with more openly unethical behavior because the media has driven such a strong wedge in the populace where people now only care about their side winning at any cost to the country's well-being.
