No offence to you or Skybird but you guys need to do some research before you make statements like that.
The FBI is part of the Executive branch of the US government. The President is the head of the executive branch. You should be able to see why the FBI cannot investigate the President.
Likewise the 'high court', which I assume you mean the Supreme Court, has judges who are appointed by the President. There are two of them on that court right now. Again you should be able to see how that would be a problem.
It is Congress which is responsible for checking executive power. The bar for impeachment is set high, not to protect obvious wrongdoing but to protect all Presidents from continous attempts to remove them from office.
