Just count how many governments Italy has had since WW II. We do not want to go that way. We do not want to start de facto coups in America. And they would impeach until they got to the person they wanted in office if this became a trend.

It is good for our democracy. It reminds a president, of his limits.
The Italian feature is more a result of multi-party/coalition system.
