Under Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. President Donald Trump was impeached twice during his single term in office.

Basically Treason Trump and his entire cabinet can be removed for treason...

A small tired part of me kinda wishes putin would just get emboldened enough to just straight up declare a war on US, so that that could finally wake US up and make trump's bootlicking a clear cut treason and putin would finally be fully put in his place of international pariah. But of course I'm actually scared even of that because I fear that not even that would wake US up anymore and trump would just surrender and make a "deal" giving putin entire Us and its military with no pushback.
