He can be impeached for cause.

This proves he doesn't represent us and does need to be removed.

A federal judge in Seattle has ordered a halt to enforcement of President Trumps controversial travel ban on citizens from seven predominantly Muslim nations.
U.S. District Judge James Robart ruled in favor Friday of Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who sued to invalidate key provisions of Trumps executive order. That order indefinitely blocks entry to the United States for Syrian refugees and temporarily suspends entry to citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries.
The temporary restraining order is granted on a nationwide basis, Robart said.
The Constitution prevailed today, Ferguson said. No one is above the law not even the President.
