Impeachment and removal as the primary remedy for executive overreach is - and always was - wishful thinking. We need a fundamentally less powerful executive.

This is most obvious with the pardon power. In the debate about its inclusion, the argument was "well if a president uses that power corruptly, they will be impeached". But no, that was wishful thinking. The same is true of "emergency" tariff powers and a bunch of other things.
