Yeah you are probably right. I asked for constitutional information on impeaching the governor of this state and got conflicting information. The one I chose fell in line with what I had read about the subject years before the internet, and it was tied to NY when I found it, but The Interweb, HAH!The federal House of Representatives can impeach federal officials, including the president, and each state's legislature can impeach state officials, including the governor, in accordance with their respective federal or state constitution. ... The impeached official remains in office until a trial is held.

I believe by this it would be only the state that could
While that's true, unlike a president a state governor has no immunity to normal federal prosecution.
We are either headed for 1984 or the French Revolution.

| Dear Friends, Over the last few months, Gov. Cuomo has continued to expand the scope of his emergency powers and has single-handedly changed hundreds of laws through executive privilege. Yesterday I supported an emergency amendment to revoke these privileges and return power over the government back to the State Legislature. Senate Democrats unanimously rejected this amendment to rescind Gov. Cuomo’s expanded powers, which have been used for over 140 days. Democrats continue to reject our efforts to strip the broad overreach of the Governor, who has issued 54 Executive Orders since the start of the pandemic. Governor Cuomo’s use of emergency power to make critical decisions impacting the lives of New Yorkers must end. People elect lawmakers to do their jobs, and Republicans are willing to tackle all of the issues confronting New York. It is shameful that Democrats continue to abdicate their responsibilities as elected officials to the executive branch. Recently, the Governor mocked anyone who questioned the need to rescind his ultimate authority as “stupid,” including good government groups that have called to curb his runaway power. This type of rhetoric is not only uncalled for but is an insult to those who believe in a government that is run for the people and by the people. Threats of single-handedly reclosing the state, using the National Guard to seize equipment, and mandatory quarantine orders underscore the need for immediate action. The crafters of our state constitution never intended for one individual to run our state government, and we must return to a government with three co-equal branches. The senators and assemblymembers of our state, who were chosen to represent the voices of their constituents in the Legislature, deserve a say. You deserve a say. Your Senator,
