...even if he's the leader of the military?

The Commander In Chief is the President of the United States. He can be impeached through the representative government. The charges are filed through the House of Representatives, and the trial occurs in the Senate. The presiding judge is the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Now that the Demoncrats are in office, bet money that they'll try.

Only congress can impeach the President. We could, but thats called armed revolution. Impeach literally means " to accuse" it is just the process where the House of Representatives accuse the President, or other officials of a crime. They are tried by the Senate, and it takes a 2/3rds vote of the Senate to convict someone, and remove them from an office.

Impeachment has to start in the HOUSE and be approved by the SENATE. So far we have had two presidents impeached but neither were convicted. Nixon resigned before being impeached.

No. If you will read our constitution you will learn that only congress can impeach the president, and then, only if he breaks the law.

No, only the House of Representatives can do that.

He does not have absolute power even though warrant less searches is a start. You cannot have a democracy with a leader with absolute power over the people.

Only by proxy of our congressional leaders and that's not going to happen... sorry to say.

You, as a citizen, have the right to petition your Senator and/or Representative to begin the process. Go on "the Google".
