Sure, Congress doesn't like the President's policies so they impeach him. He'd have to either refuse to recognize the impeachment (claiming it was unauthorized) or seek judicial review to challenge it. He is supposed to be removed only for bribery, treason or other high crimes or misdemeanors, but that wouldn't necessarily stop Congress from exceeding its constitutional authority.
