Believing Weimar Germany was a horrible place is like believing the Treaty of Versailles was overly harsh for Germany.

Generally directing a sos to find you the exact number of votes needed to overturn your loss is, you know, questionable.

So probably where I'd head with that is Marbury versus Madison I'll be my best argument it preempts pretty much everything else which is a federal Supremacy argument. My inclination is that if Congress felt it was a crime they could impeach and remove him at which point he could be charged for the offense.
To my mind I think it's the only practical solution because you can't have a presidential candidate who could be in legal Jeopardy in 50 states as soon as he's no longer the president.
Note that I'm not arguing for or against your specific point but I'm arguing from a practical standpoint from a democratic Norms standpoint and from a preemption standpoint

I don't really see how that makes any sense to you lol. Congress has no reason to do anything because political fortunes are largely tied to the president within a party now.
Furthermore the argument senate republicans gave is that they had no reason to act because the civilian legal system could hold him accountable if he had broken the law.
And there's basically no way to impeach a president in modern America because a party will defend them to the absolute ends of the earth, no matter how guilty they might be.
Using your logic what you're basically saying is a president can simply break the law at will and never be held accountable, as congress will never do it in reality, while also trying to argue the legal system cannot hold him accountable.
As long as said president just keeps running for office, he's quite literally above the law. Which is absurd.

So yes absolutely it would take a lot for president to be impeached but it's not impossible if for example the president did shoot somebody on 5th Avenue then yeah you'd probably get impeached. I absolutely do believe in this high standard and not only do I believe in this high standard legally it's likely the actual standard.
Let me put the shoe on the other foot. There are 50 states and there are prosecutors for most metropolitan areas. Do you believe that all prosecutors everywhere Act without bias? Do you believe that all juries Act without bias?
Your own logic necessitates that a president would have to defend himself from the entire Machinery of the opposing party.
We can see it happening here they only have to win once that's all and more than that even if they win nowhere at all they can still handicap him and in fact they are actively trying lawfare during an election season to prevent him from running effectively. Regardless of whether or not you believe that he's guilty the American people should be given the opportunity to make a choice.
In sum I am saying we should err on the side of inaction. If the crime is bad enough he will be held to account and if we are so far gone that he cannot be then we've already lost
