We are in a Constitutional crisis. What to do?

There are many practical political reasons not to impeach Trump. The House must do it anyway, to protect the United States from the very kind of tyranny the Constitution was designed to prevent.

It's the right thing to do.
Donald Trump surely appears to be usurping the powers of the other branches of government. Under these circumstances, the constitution mandates that the House undertake an impeachment inquiry and present evidence to the Senate.
The framers put in mechanisms to enforce the constitution against a president who tries to usurp the powers of the other branches of government. They anticipated the possibility of a Donald Trump.
Every child in America is supposed to learn about the constitution’s basic principles of separation of powers, and checks and balances.

But, these days, every child and every adult in America is learning from Donald Trump that these principles are bunk.
