You want debate? Here it is, then. Alexander Hamilton, one of the Framers, nailed it when he said, regarding high cremes, "the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils" was one of the Framers' greatest fears, and loomed large in how the went about writing the Constitution. And Donald J. Trump swore an oath to "defend the Constitution," because the Framers knew full well that it could not protect itself.
Trump many claim that he is "only interested in corruption," but his actions speak volumes -- by his actions he is clear that he only cares about corruption when it might involve the name "Biden." And that name, Biden, is, by every poll so far, his chief rival in the next election to retain his position. Therefore, his request to the Ukrainian President (and now to China) is one aimed directly at doing damage to his chief rival, which is entirely about securing Trump's own re-election. And that is clearly in his own, personal interest, not that of the nation.
Seven Democrats, from swing districts, and therefore at very great danger to themselves, wrote in a powerful op-ed in the Washington Post, "These allegations are a threat to all we have sworn to protect." They, therefore, unlike Trump, are putting the Constitution, and therefore the nation's interests, ahead of their own.
Like I said, the Constitution can't protect itself. Only those sworn to that duty can do that. And if they are derelict in that duty, like Trump is certainly, then they should pay the price.
