Congress did not follow subpoena procedures and get the courts to subpoena for them.
Yes they did. Trump ordered all subpoena recipients to ignore them.
White House lawyers indicated this week that they would tell former officials, including the former White House counsel Donald F. McGahn II, not to comply with subpoenas for their testimony.

Too much anecdotal drivel in this thread. Why don't you research and find out why Trump should be removed from office. There is a strong indication he broke the law in dealing with foreign entities. He broke the law for purposes similar to what Richard Nixon did.

WAS AND IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Impeachment is a totally constitutional remedy for a president who has corrupted the office.
Can someone tell me why President Trump should be thrown out of office

Congress sets its own rules. The House rules regarding how subpoenas are issued were written in 2015 by a Republican majority. The subpoenas were entirely legitimate. The House doesn't need to get permission to do its constitutional duty from the Judicial Branch. Thus, Trump is impeached by The House for obstruction of Congress.
bolding emphasis mine.
The June 11 resolution passed by the House changes this, however. Now, committee chairs have the ability to go to court on behalf of their committees to try to force compliance with subpoenas they’ve issued without first receiving approval of the full House. Instead, committee chairs will require the approval of the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG), which comprises the speaker, the majority leader, the majority whip, the minority leader and the minority whip. Specifically, the resolution states that a vote of the BLAG—on which Democrats have a majority—“is the equivalent of the vote of the full House of Representatives.”

I don't live in the States, so I don't have a first hand feel that is what really is going on. Silently, many leaders of their countries are saying this mother fker really has the balls to tell the general public what is really happening and yet the media is slamming him for the truth and even this is overseas.
No man is above the law. We have a Constitution not a dictatorship. He should be thrown out of office for having no respect for our Constitution and our laws. If Trump is allowed to stay in office it will be a dangerous precedent. Because the next president may be a Democrat. Dictatorship is great as long as your party is the one who is in charge!!!
