Not opposed to that idea - but would rather see some 'due process' demanded of the process.

- Demand exculpatory information SHALL be accepted, analyzed, and documented as part of the investigation and included in an appendix to any eventual articles presented to the Senate including rationale for rejection of any such exculpatory evidence.
- Stipulate that the articles presented to the Senate for consideration SHALL BE complete and thereby sufficient to justify a verdict of guilty - with no need for any information not contained in the articles for substantiation. If any demand for additional investigation to establish evidence beyond what is presented in the articles is made, the Articles SHALL be rejected as insufficient and are thereby null and void and so noted in any record of the House.
- Require that the Articles include a declaration of "no - bias" signed by every affirmative vote for the Articles - stipulating that any demonstrated violation of this oath result in immediate expulsion from the House and disqualification for any subsequent office of honor or responsibility,


In short - stamp the IMPEACHMENT power as reserved ONLY for matters of IMMEDIATE danger to the USA that a super majority of the population would immediately recognize as an obvious threat. Otherwise - make your case for the next election,
