The process for removing the President begins with the House passing a bill of impeachment. That requires the Senate to hold a trial. After all the evidence is presented, the Senators vote of whether to convict. If 2/3 of those voting, vote to convict, the President is removed from office.

The President is able to be removed through impeachment. Impeachment requires a majority vote in the House and a 2/3 vote from the Senate for removal from office.
