I suspect the logical outcome of this is a Parliamentary system where the President requires the explicit approval of both houses. If the two houses go one way and the presidency the other, the president will be impeached and removed. The Clinton presidency was the dry run for this.

Removal requires 2/3 of the Senate. It’s unlikely that every member of a party would vote for removal without a clear, major violation.

So the only way your scenario works out is if the Senate has 70 or so members from the party opposing the President. A split like that is very unlikely.
