What's the actual process to physically removing the President from the White House/Power.... ?
Are the Secret Service ordered to stand down, who gives them that order ?

To be clear I don't think impeachment should happen here unless a serious crime in proven. I think it's a dangerous tool which should only be used in extraordinary circumstances otherwise we're going to have impeachment being used every few years against every President.
I don't actually know the answers to your questions here, I am guessing the details will be fuzzy. Like our system they seem to sometimes work on the assumption of people doing what is right.
However impeachment is the proper way to remove a President. If Trump refused to leave and attempted to use the army to enforce that then we've entered a failed American democracy, Trump will be the tinpot despot people fear.
