I'm not sure what you're trying to say Mags, but it sounds like dramatic license.
Whether President Trump "tried to destroy America" is not the subject of the inquiry.
It's an inquiry into whether he violated the Constitution by threatening to hold up foreign aid to Ukraine unless Ukraine officials agreed to do him a favor which would benefit him personally/politically.
In any case, the Congress will vote on whether there's evidence that he did so and whether he should be impeached for it, not the American people.
The House might vote to impeach him, but, sure, he could still get re-elected if the Senate votes against impeachment since the Senate makes the final call.
That's what happened with Bill Clinton, and the impeachment by the House is thought by many political scholars to have helped Clinton win again, in that it rallied his base around him and generated more voter enthusiasm. That history is one of the reasons Pelosi held off supporting an official impeachment inquiry for so long.
Anyhow, we'll see how this one plays out. It's supposed to come to a head by Thanksgiving, but that might just be wishful thinking.
