The United States Constitution states that there's only one way for any official to be removed: impeachment, conviction, and sentencing (Art I, Section 3). The House of Representatives "enact the Articles of Impeachment," and the Senate tries the offender.

Impeachment is merely a charge, a listing of meritable laws broken by the offender. The House only writes this (Art. I, Section 2) but then steps aside, because "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments."

A president may also leave of his/her own volition by resignation. Be it resignation, death, or impeachment, the vice president then takes the seat.
