Federalist Zero. 65 discusses the reasoning behind the choice of the Senate to conduct Impeachment trials. He is sanguine about the threat of politics factions polarizing the proceedings. He rejects the Supreme Court as too little a body to stand for the general public and posits that assigning the home, the representative elected by the body politic, the responsibility of bringing costs and prosecuting an impeachment, and assigning the Senate, a body of smart elders elected by condition legislatures, the task using the matter, may be the best that you can do to effect a result of a necessary parting of powers to attain a fair and outcome.
