Hate to break it to Dersh, but when the Founders discussed impeachment, they specifically discussed it as a remedy for abuse of power.
Debating the Constitution, George Mason asked if the president has "the power of granting pardons before indictment, or conviction, may he not stop inquiry and prevent detection?"

In other words, what if the president abuses a power we are granting to him?
James Madison responded, "If the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any Person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him"
