It's been years since I've heard that example of schlemiel and shemozzle, brings back many memories of when I was knee high to a grasshopper.
I'll just say, Rubio likely will be the poor mashugana left holding the bag, as I really doubt we've got very many attorneys remaining in the land who desire to commit career suicide.
Especially given the example of Giuliani, who is landing on that which is decidedly not his feet.
I suspect they'll all find, they're not working for some grand Emperor, but instead for King Pyrrhus after the battle of Asculum.
Learning the ancient lesson, "Another such victory and I am undone".
With Rubio likely to get the word, "Sir, there are some men outside that would like a word with you".
"Oh, who are they?"
"I'm not sure, however one is carrying a large axe and the other is carrying a pike".

First, he's not levied war against the United States, which requires by nature the use of arms. So, no treason.
That kind of removed a cause for arrest, not that you'd get him to authorize his own arrest anyway and law enforcement is under the executive branch. Worse, SCOTUS created from whole cloth executive immunity, so that any official act is now legally protected.
Now, removal from office, suffice it to say, half of his cabinet and the VP aren't about to turn on him. So, that rules the 25th amendment out, that leaves impeachment and the GOP is thoroughly in his thrall.

Hey, he's addressing the high cost of eggs compared to other foods by raising the price of the other foods.
And it'll be all Obama's fault and why he'll ask Congress to declare war on the country of Antarctica to stop the invasions from there.
And it'll jumpstart agriculture in the US, so that the crops can then rot in the fields with nobody to pick them. Which is the fault of NATO, who we'll have to also declare war on and invade that country.
The shame of it is, the average MAGAt will believe it, hook, line and sinker. Hell, he already had, during the campaign, proposed we steal Canadian water for California by running a pipeline from a Canadian river to the locals that need the water, which of course would involve invading Canada.
Because that worked out ever so well the other two times we tried it...
When all of his misdirected efforts finally trigger domestic unrest against his maladministration, he'll direct that sanctuary cities are the root cause of all of the problems with hidden aliens magic magic causing mayhem and order the thermonuclear destruction of those foreign lands.
All because his parents allowed people to poke baby on the fontanelle when he was an infant.
Full disclosure, I do intensely dislike the man as a person, as I've actually met him in person around Y2K. He was the boor of the party, literally, even managing to piss off my wife - a veritable saint, as she managed to put up with me for over 41 years.
Still, we've gotta give Trump some slack, he had a tough time of it as an infant, being breast fed by his father and all.

@dvddvd5903 alas, no clue how. Originally, the Republican Party sprang from the ashes of the Whig Party, the original conservative party in the US, which had been hijacked by Nativists and religious nut jobs, pushing for literally many of the same insane things. The actual conservatives, showing courage that is now foreign to the GOP, bailed from the party and formed a new party. Their very first candidate for POTUS, some guy named Abraham Lincoln. The Whig Party evaporated in disgrace shortly afterward, never managing to have a successful candidate since the Republican Party formed.
Alas, these days, a defining characteristic of a Republican is easily ascertained, they're required to have a yellow streak down their back that's a mile wide.

Since Congress no longer enjoys its immunity, the Constitution is moribund.
It could be revived easily enough though. Congress giveth, Congress can taketh away.
Rescind every cent of misappropriated and properly utilized executive budget dollars for this year for the entirety of the executive branch - every agency and branch.
Then, for starters, Kash and Kristi get their positions consent rescinded by the Senate.
Then, consider re-instituting that budget again after Trump appears before Congress stark naked and apologizes.
He'll go into golfing withdrawal quickly enough, since there won't be fuel for the vehicles to even take him across the street. The staff, unpaid, the White House utilities unpaid and once overdue, subject to termination.
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, that knife cuts in both directions via rescissions, courtesy of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
He wants to cross the street, he'll have to pay for the fuel for The Beast out of his own pocket.
