How do you perform a coup against a piece of paper? Coups work against dictators and kings because they have absolute power. You remove a person, and you control the country. If the US President were removed by the military, the rest of the country would still continue to operate under the Constitution like nothing really happened. The commander of those forces wouldn’t gain any actual power.
