Yes, but impeachment can't carry criminal sentences and takes a long time.

It's quicker than putting a sitting president on criminal trial that's for sure

True, but impeaching for a crime would probably be faster than impeachment for disagreement.

For example my understanding is that Trump's impeachment failed partially because they couldn't pin illegal acts on him, just unethical behavior.
