"There is no limit to his willingness and desire to abuse his power."
This is true and is the most compelling reason for impeachment and removal from office. He sees no reason to change. If he learned a lesson from the outcry over all his abuses of power, it would be reasonable to let an election decide the matter. He will not learn. He will continue to abuse the power of the office and will escalate if not constrained.
