Actually it's a standard in many countries to have impeached President suspended, and I'm personally leaning toward this. Yes, as the previous posted pointed out, it's just an "indictment", but on the other hand it's pretty customary for people to take a leave of absence while on trail.
My only worry is that it could be abused by the hostile House majority, but that could be fixed with setting some rules.
This is the issue. An opposition-controlled House would always make up a reason to impeach on day 1, and would also impeach the Vice President after they assumed the presidency, so we would likely end up with the Speaker of the House being acting president a majority of the time, rather than either of the people elected to the 4 year term.
