Trump merely needs to petition to return to office. Within about a month a vote has to occur in the House and Senate, and 2/3rds of each body must confirm his inability to continue in office. He can then immediately reapply each time the House and Senate votes him down.

It is like the Walking Dead version of impeachment. Impeachment is easier (only need a majority in the House). Actually the credible threat of impeachment would be sufficient for most rational individuals.
