>By that logic, Congress is powerless against the President as well, as the President has the guns. No, he doesn't. The military does. The military is sworn to uphold the Constitution, so if the President is impeached and his powers removed by Congress, the military has to follow Congress's orders, not the President's. Of course, the military could ignore the Constitution, which would be a coup, but then it seems unlikely that all the officers and enlisted would go along with it because they'd all be breaking their oaths as well, not just the top brass.
