Any district should be able to recall it's federal representatives in the same way its citizens could recall a state governor or other local official.
These are representatives of the people, and need to be reminded of this often.
Impeachment sets the precedent that politicians are fallible, and they won't break ranks among other congressman unless voters on both sides of the aisle raise a lot of hell, over a very sustained period of time. This is why the"censure" each other. It makes the proles feel like an actual investigation was done, but there are no real consequences, civilly, criminally, or to their continued tenure in office.
