They could impeach Trump for having an orange face, if they wanted to. Whether Trump would be convicted by the Senate and removed from office is another question altogether, but the House can impeach for ANYTHING that the House deems to be an impeachable offense.

I suppose the House could impeach a President if they didn't like the way he combed his hair, however, a Republican president can not be convicted for any reason as long at the Senate holds a Republican majority.

You are absolutely correct. The House COULD impeach a President if they didn’t like the way he combed his hair. Whether or not the Senate would convict a President of that offense and remove him or her from office is another question altogether. But make no mistake. The House can impeach a President for ANYTHING.
