The potus use US assets for personal gain. The potus
held up critically needed aid from an ally until that ally would agree to publicly launch an investigation of the potus' chief political rival, essentially demanding that a foreign government contribute to his campaign.
That is abuse of power, exactly the kind of abuse of power the founders worried about.
And the founders gave the power of impeachment to Congress, to hold the executive branch accountable. If the potus can ignore Congress then the system of checks and balances breaks down.
If it were me, I would have included the 10 incidents of obstruction of justice from the Mueller report if for no other reason to establish a pattern of behavior.
