The term is impeachment. The US House of Representatives investigates charges against the President to determine if he has committed an impeachable offense. If a bill of impeachment is approved by 2/3 of the House, the President is impeached, or accused. He is then tried by the US Senate, and if voted guilty by 2/3 of the senators, he is removed from office. Two Presidents have been impeached (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton) but neither was convicted and removed.

The formal term used when an attempt is made to remove a President of the United States is "impeachment." Impeachment is the process by which a sitting president can be charged with "high crimes and misdemeanors" by the House of Representatives. If a president is impeached by the House, the Senate conducts a trial to determine whether the president should be removed from office.

Was Abraham Lincoln ever shot before his assassination?
No. One attempt was made, and it was likely made by a sniper who missed President Lincoln, with a shot but the bullet did manage to plow right through his top hat he happened to be wearing, at the time. The attempt occurred while President Lincoln was on his horse, riding back to the White House, late at night, and he was alone. The shot was not publicized, and President Lincoln told very few people about it. Whoever fired the shot remains a mystery to this day.
