Yes, immensely. Checks and balances and stated elected representatives have a lot of push back against the president.

>Hypothetical question: imagine the president ordered troops to evacuate the library and then burn it down. Who exactly would be held accountable, and how?

Beats me. There's a lot of processes needed for the president to organize the national guard. Lots of chains of command would need to fail to have them burn down a domestic building with no signs of sabatoge.

Sabotage? He could do it blatantly publicly without repercussions, it seems. I wish what you said was true but my reading of the SCOTUS ruling is basically that impeachment is the only option, and the party in power is not going to convict its own president (especially for something a few would support).

If republicans impeach him they would have a shot at another republican president no?

Just like how if Biden had dropped out of the race, Democrats would've had a shot at another Democratic candidate for president?

Nope
