Ask HN: Opinions on Impeachment?

Yesterday, US President Trump was impeached.

On the one hand, it may have strengthened his reelection campaign. Impeachment gives the President yet another example of the "witch hunt" he talks about; he can use impeachment as a cause around which to rally his Republican base.

On the other hand, it sets a precedent. Impeaching Trump now makes a powerful statement about holding the President accountable, and that there are consequences for his actions.
