There are more, but here are 3 important illustrations—
ONE: Trump’s order to hospitals and clinics stopping medical gender treatments on minors—blocked by a judge.
TWO: Trump’s EO ending birthright citizenship—blocked by a judge.
THREE: Trump’s order placing USAID workers on leave—blocked by a judge.
These are federal judges. They have to be, to block a President’s EO.

Yes, for “high crimes and misdemeanors,” according to the Constitution. First step: a majority vote in the House. Step Two: a trial in the Senate. A 2/3rds vote there is necessary to impeach.
