"You cannot Impeach an illegitimate president, because the legislature is responsible for putting him there!"

Sure you could. He ran for President under fraudulant circumstances. Fraud is certainly a "High Crime or Misdemeanor".

I've read the USC a few times in my life. The only provision for removing a sitting president is impeachment in the House, conviction in the Senate.

Actually, there is nothing in the Constitution that would prohibit a sitting President from being arrested, by any law enforcement officer.

The problem is, the President could then issue himself a prompt “pardon” and things would get messy.

Better to have the cabinet act, if it needed to be done quickly.
