Yes, ditto on both of those. An impeachment on shakey grounds would be really hurtful to the image of US democracy. An impeachment attempt that failed to impeach would be even worse.
I was surprised to learn about the whole Electoral College weighting of votes in the US, which seems very unfair to the big citydwellers on both coasts.
If it's any consolation, the UK also has a complex voting system which also skews the idea of one man, one vote. Politicians (the electoral losers, of course) regularly call for Proportional Representation, but it hasn't happened yet because every party that wins under the existing system defends the existing system, regardless of what they may have said when they were the opposition party.
