No, he couldn't. There's no other body beside Congress with the Constitutional authority to bring such charges against a sitting President in the first place, let alone remove him from office.

Have you ever heard of Quo Warranto?




Quo Warranto

The common law writ of quo warranto has been suppressed at the federal level in the United States, and deprecated at the state level, but remains a right under the Ninth Amendment which was understood and presumed by the Founders, and which affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents. Here are a few writings on the subject. Revival of the writs must be combined with reviving standing for private prosecution of public rights, subverted by the decision in Frothingham v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447 (1923), which is discussed in an article by Steve Winter, The Metaphor of Standing and the Problem of Self-Governance.

He must be talking to his handler. And neither of them knew about Quo Warranto.

They don’t like Quo Warranto.
