I am assuming that this is a trick question. But I will wade into the mine field risking life and limb.
The only way to remove the President of the United States is through the House of Representatives bringing the articles of impeachment. The senate then is the legislative branch which trys the impeachment. This is all laid out under Article 1 sections 2 and 3 of the United States Constitution. The word "solely" obviously is a succinct use of a word to insure there is no ambiguity on how the President is to be lawfully removed from office.
So there is no cite and no statute addressing this. It is laid out in the constitution.
I would go into Posse Comitatus but I will save that for rebuttal and keep it holstered for now.
(keeping my fingers crossed that Airborne Lawyer is out there willing to jump to my defense if attacked.)
