Congress might be *able* to do that, in terms of there being no prior restraint, but it would be recklessly endangering the fabric our system of government is built on.
No, I don't think I'm exaggerating.
Does SCOTUS have the power of Judicial review over a presidential impeachment? Our Constitution explicitly gives the sole power to impeach to the house and the sole power to try all house impeachments to the senate. Judicial precedent in several cases is the senate has the final word every time the question has come up.
