The standard is high crimes and misdemeanors. So the House can send over to the Senate that he ate a Philly Cheese with a fork. Then there is a trial reffed by John Roberts and the Senate decides on his ouster.
While it’s got some failsafe in it, the impeachment can succeed, with the proper number of corrupt pols.

there has never been a removal of a president based on impeachment by the lower chamber...Johnson, in 1866, was acquitted on his principle charge, a ridiculous complaint about removing Stanton from the War department while Congress was not in session, and the Senate basically folded the tent after that...IMHO, short of a capital crime being committed, a sitting president will never be removed simply by virtue of a partisan Congress...
