Impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump would be another watershed moment in the nation’s political history.

And its one Republicans, unsurprisingly, say Democrats ought to avoid.

GOP lawmakers in Trump’s home state, in particular, are leery of the “i” word as the president has called it, arguing the House of Representatives should focus on legislative and oversight issues, not removing him from office.

“I think we need to continue to have our oversight role in Congress,” said Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, who represents a sprawling North Country district.

Stefanik pointed to the upcoming testimony of former special counsel Robert Mueller this month as evidence Congress was playing an important role.

“I’m glad he’s testifying,” she said. “I think there’s going to be a lot of tough questions from both sides of the aisle.”

Rep. Tom Reed, who leads the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, called impeachment a dangerous path for Democrats.

“When you talk about overturning the voice of the people that put a president into office through impeachment, that’s a very slippery slope and very dangerous,” he said. “What we should be doing is legislating and solving problems for people back home.”

Having Republican rank-and-file support for Trump is key should Democrats launch an impeachment push. Stefanik, meanwhile, pointed to the political price some Democrats could pay for impeachment, including in districts the president won in 2016, like the 22nd district in central New York.

“I do think that hurts Democrats in certain types of districts,” she said. “I think that’s a prime pickup opportunity. Trump won that district by double digits.”
