He's no longer president, he's violated his oath of office. The same way that someone stops being a police officer the minute they break the law.
The quicker people realize that and end him, the better off we all are
In good faith, that's how it'd work - but the system has set the bar for removal from office so high as to have never been completed - even by terrible presidents including trump.
We should change that so that citizens have a more direct way to force an election or vote of no confidence or recall or otherwise remove elected officials that have lost the backing of the people, despite still having the backing of the president's cabinet and Congress.
As it stands there is no legitimate path for this action. Should we act illegitimately? To be determined, but we'd all have to get real comfortable that it'd be a textbook unconstitutional coup.
If they refuse to act legitimately we’re fools to follow the same rules they ignore. Rules for all or rules for none; they’ve made their choice and now it’s time play the same game.
