You are correct in that they cannot be ousted via the current democratic process, it would probably take an armed revolution to kick them out of office. 
A military Coup is much better way to have a revolution, if a people can get the military on their side, governments are suddenly quite willing to hand over the keys, so to speak.

You know that is one of the arguments for our 2nd amendment pro NRA supporters like to use. To enpower the people to be able to take back or overthrow the government should the need ever arise. It probably was the ultimate intention behind the 2nd amendment when you consider how our country became its own sovereign nation to begin with. (1776 and all that) However, in this day and age which is a far cry from musketry, i suspect any such armed revolt would be crushed quickly by the military. So your right, getting the miltary on your side is a much better way. Actually, it would be the only way.
But in case some government agent somewhere is monitoring this, this is all just hypothetical and academic. I'm much too worried about paying my bills, then lofty ideological and political stuff. In fact i am so uninvolved politically, that I also don't vote. I don't think there is much point in it anymore, no matter who's in office, it always ends up the same way anyway.
