BOTH Houses must agree by a two-thirds majority to remove the President under

But there are also built in delays under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to
allow Congress time for debate.
If Pence & the Cabinet were to invoke Section 4 now, the clock would run out

But while the clock is ticking Trump cannot exercise the powers of the

executive orders.
INDEED - nor could he pardon himself.
