Did you read the article? Representative Stockman suggested other options.
The Constitution clearly establishes the legislative branch of the federal government as first among equals. If lawmakers need to resort to the most dire tool at their disposal to stop a president--who is himself not especially adept at doing his own job--then some American voters need to look themselves in the mirror and ask themselves what kinds of politicians they're sending to Washington, D.C. in the first place.
IMO, it is not a good political argument to say that the American legal system should be bypassed because one may not like the outcome.
