If the President of the United States is impeached on his First Term as President does that mean he can never run for office again?

Yes because he has committed a crime and would be lucky not to be put on trial for his crimes. A president (any) isn't immune to charges for crimes committed. The constitution bars presidents from accepting foreign perks and despite what President elect Trump states it would be illegal for him to take money or do business while he is president. It is a conflict of interest for him to do so and illegal.

∙ 7y agoA president that is impeached but not convicted by the senate remains in office and could run again if he is in his first term. A president that is impeached and convicted would almost certainly not be nominated again and if he ran as an independent, he would not likely be elected. However, I think he legally could be.

∙ 7y agoThe Constitution does not specifically bar a successfully impeached President from running for President again, but it is likely that if such a person were to run again, courts would bar the President from running again on the grounds that he was already deemed unfit for office. In most cases, when the Senate votes to impeach someone, they add a qualifier that the person impeached is forbidden from holding public office again.

There was no President of the United States that was impeached for firing his Secretary of State. Perhaps you mean Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States from 1865-1869, who was impeached for removing Edward Stanton, the Secretary of War. This violated a recently passed law, the Tenure of Office Act, which stated that the President couldn't remove cabinet members from their positions. The law was also quite unconstitutional, and was passed for the sole purpose of finding a reason to impeach Johnson, who was unpopular with the Republican Party. Although Johnson was impeached, he was later acquitted, and retained the office of the presidency until the next election cycle, when he chose not to run.
