Rehnquist clearly states that the Founding Fathers did not give the judiciary a role in the impeachment process.

More relevant, I suspect the founding fathers had no idea that someone would attempt to impeach the President, because someone didn't like his political views, rather than follow the criteria they inserted in the authority of the House to legislate Articles of Impeachment. They (the "Founding Fathers") were smarter than that ... or at least they thought they were.
They probably didn't even dream of the bullshit posted on the internet.
Next point?
