Yes and no. Federal officials and elected representatives CAN be prosecuted in a court of laws, but the President can only be impeached and then tried by the Senate.
Congress can accuse the President and Supreme Court judges.
The President of the United States has the power to remove officials from office if he sees them as derelict in their duties in some way, but the action must be approved by Congress if the official does not simply resign. Judges on the Supreme Court, members of the Cabinet, the Vice President, and members of Congress cannot be removed by the President but he may ask them to resign.
Congress does not directly decide the officials in the executive branch of government. The officials in the executive branch, such as the President and various department heads, are typically appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. However, Congress does have the power to oversee and investigate the actions of these officials, and can also impeach and remove them from office if necessary.
The Administrative Office of the United States Courts
Congress is able to bring impeachment charges against a president. A majority vote is required in the House of Representatives. The Senate tries the President.
The Judicial Branch The United States has a dual court system, so the judicial power is shared between the state and federal court system.

The President has the power to pardon people from federal crimes. He also nominates judges for federal courts, including the Supreme Court. These nominations have to be ratified by the US Senate in order to take effect. (Federal courts belong to the judicial department which is independent of the President.)
No federal official can hold two positions at the same time. The President can become Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court after his (or her) administration has ended, or can become President after serving as Chief Justice. William Howard Taft is an example of a President who later became Chief Justice. Taft was in the White House from 1909-1913, and presided over the Supreme Court from 1921-1930.
