That's not a tree. That's a bush.

Unless you rent a stump grinder, or have it professionally ground,
there is no "easy" way to get it out. Either cut it off even with the
ground and wait for it to rot, or get out the shovel and do it the
hard way...

What I found worked the best for cutting roots is a "Go-Devil," a
splitting maul, used to split firewood. They look like a sledge hammer
with an axe edge on one side. One swing was generally enough to cleave
the root off at the stump, and a second shot trimmed the root back
enough to get in there with the shovel and continue digging.

It's not easy. Don't use the circular saw.
