If a vote to impeach (charge) the President passes in the House of Representatives, a trial is held in the Senate, over which the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice presides. At the end of the trial, if at least two thirds of the Senators present vote "guilty", the President is immediately removed from office and banned from holding office again; if less than two thirds vote "guilty", the President is acquitted and remains in office.

But the 'other' and only constitutional way is that a President can be declared "unfit to carry out his duties" by the Vice-President and a majority of the Executive Branch's officers, who can then put their statement to a vote by Congress. If Congress then decides by a two-third majority that the President is indeed unfit, the Vice-President takes over as acting President for as long as it takes.
