If you are a strong Trump Supporter please consider this situation.
Let's say the Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller decides to subpoena Donald Trump to testify in front of a Grand Jury. President Trump decides that the Russia Investigation is a hoax and he does not have time to testify in such a wasted and corrupt process. So he refuses. It goes to court and finally after a number of appeals the Supreme Court orders President Trump to appear in front of the Grand Jury.
What should President Trump do? He is the President, a co-equal to the Courts and Congress. He is a busy man running the country. The Secret Service will not let anyone arrest him and drag him to court. They can't arrest him. He is the President.
Shouldn't President Trump just stand firm and say he won't participate in this farce? What would happen?
He may fight the subpoena but if the courts uphold it then Trump will testify. It's just that the answer to every question will be "I do not recall". Worked for Hillary.
that would be congress' job. i'm pretty confident that even a GOP house/senate would instigate impeachment hearings if a POTUS directly defied a SCOTUS ruling.

What would be the crime for impeachment?
Attempting to overthrown a sitting President, holds Treason.
Why wasn't Andrew Jackson removed?

Your initial premise is false.
Trump is not a busy man by any means. He has spent 1 out of every 4th day in office playing golf at his many resorts.
The only time he's actually busy is when he's off to another campaign rally in some red state so he can get reelected in 2020.
The rest of the time he's secluded, watching alt news shows and tweeting.
Trump has spent less time running the country than any other president in history.

Bill Clinton was actually impeached, but not removed from office.
