Is there any recourse should Congress protect President from impeachment and removal from office despite solid grounds for such actions?

1Are you asking "Is there a way to impeach a President if Congress doesn't want to?" As written, this isn't very clear. – Bobson Apr 25 '17 at 17:57

I assume you mean legally, as opposed to Trump's implied strategy for preventing Hillary Clinton from exercising power if the election failed to stop her from reaching that point. – WBT Apr 26 '17 at 0:59
US voters have an opportunity to replace their House Representative every 24 months.
If enough people in a district don't like what their representative is or isn't doing, they can elect a new one.
This pressure from the people is what turned the House Reps against Nixon in 1974. Only when it became clear that the people would not support a Congress that supported Nixon did the impeachment process begin.

1FYI, the House and Senate both had a Democratic majority throughout Nixon's second term. – cpast Apr 25 '17 at 21:06
