Impeachment is not a practice that has helped build the power and influence of the presidency. Rather, impeachment is a constitutional process for removing a president from office for "high crimes and misdemeanors." While it is a tool that Congress has in its arsenal to check the power of the executive branch, it does not increase the power of the presidency. The other three options (executive order, executive privilege, impoundment) are all tools that presidents can use to exert their authority and expand their power.
