The principle of the constitution that states that Congress can impeach a sitting President for unlawful behavior is known as the principle of checks and balances. This principle ensures that no individual, including the President, is above the law and can be held accountable for their actions. Impeachment is a constitutional mechanism that allows Congress to investigate and remove a President from office if they have committed "high crimes and misdemeanors."
It gives congress the ability to remove the president for wrongdoing.

The President
One example of Congress checking the President is through the impeachment process. Congress has the power to impeach the President if they believe he has committed "high crimes and misdemeanors." This allows Congress to hold the President accountable and potentially remove him from office if necessary.
ensures what??
The Constitution limits governmental powers and ensures that no particular branch has more power than the other...MoMMy.! :)

All Executive power of the United States of America is vasted in the President as well as the Vice President. The constitution did not create any government department but instead the first of them, the Department of State, was created by the First Congress. All Secretaries are the executive heads of their respective department, consultate the President, and are subject to confirmation by Congress. The executive (also known as administration) provides all government services to U.S. citizens and ensures that all acts enacted by Congress are properly carried out.
In essence, it is the republican principle that ensures the majority can defeat the "sinister views" of the minority: in other words, the regular vote should suffice. (Federalist Paper #10; James Madison)
The U.S. Constitution ensures that the terms of office for members of Congress and the President are separate and distinct. The President is elected through a nationwide vote for a fixed term of four years, while members of Congress are elected through separate elections for each chamber (House of Representatives and Senate) and serve different terms (two years for Representatives, six years for Senators). This separation of terms and election processes helps to maintain a system of checks and balances between the legislative and executive branches of government.
