Time is one of the enemies here. Other Americans (Magats) are enemies. Repubs in office are enemies, etc. So while I agree with you, there are lots of obstacles. Trump is rewriting history. He's setting precedents that are destroying democracy forever, unless punishing changes to the office are established. Impeachment can no longer be the only means to rid ourselves of a pestilence in the presidency. Rules/Laws have to be established that will make him/her think long and hard about decisions even before they decide to run for office.
