To allow the President or any rogue government agency or individual to disregard the rule of law whenever, wherever and however it chooses and operate "Above the law" is exactly how a nation of sheep gives rise to a government of wolves.
We are paying the price every day that we allow the government to continue to wage its war on the American People, a war that is being fought on many fronts: with bullets and tasers, with surveillance cameras and license readers, with intimidation and propaganda, with court rulings and legislation, with the collusion of every bureaucrat who dances to the tune of corporate handouts while on the government's payroll, and most effectively of all, with the complicity of the American people, who continue to allow themselves to be easily manipulated by their politics, distracted by their pastimes, and acclimated to a world in which government corruption is the norm.
If we were being honest and consistent in holding government officials accountable, you'd have to impeach almost every president in recent years for operating "Above the law," unbound by the legislative or judicial branches of the government.
Although the Constitution requires a separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government in order to ensure accountability so that no one government agency becomes all-powerful, each successive president over the past 30 years has, through the negligence of Congress and the courts, expanded the reach and power of the presidency by adding to his office's list of extraordinary orders, directives and special privileges.
Hitler's rise to power should serve as a stark lesson to always be leery of granting any government leader sweeping powers.
The American kleptocracy has sucked the American people down a rabbit hole into a parallel universe in which the Constitution is meaningless, the government is all-powerful, and the citizenry is powerless to defend itself against government agents who steal, spy, lie, plunder, kill, abuse and generally inflict mayhem and sow madness on everyone and everything in their sphere.
Set your sights higher: impeach the government for overstepping its authority, abusing its power, and disregarding the rule of law.
