Impeachment Proceedings or Articles of Impeachment may be cause for removal from the Office of the Presidency for willful Violation of a U.S. Constitutional amendment in which the President of the United states is sworn under to uphold and enforce as the Chief Executive Officer of the Us Government. Since some people seem to believe Barack Obama has done something worthy of impeachment (as some people believed the same about his predecessor, President Bush), it is worth noting that disagreeing with a president's policies is not grounds for impeachment. The grounds are the commission of "high crimes and misdemeanors." There is no evidence that Mr. Obama has committed any crimes while in office.

What should be done to a President of The US who goes against a Constitutional right should impeachment be considered?
First, I am not sure what constitutional right you think the president has gone against. Perhaps you are thinking of the gun control debate. It should be noted that advocating for some restrictions on gun ownership, while obviously controversial, is not unique-- other presidents, including Ronald Reagan, have done it too. Thus, President Obama has not violated any constitutional rights, contrary to what you may hear on talk shows. Also, not agreeing with a president is not grounds to impeach him. The constitution says a president may only be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors," and for treason. It is doubtful that President Obama has committed any act that would be grounds for impeachment.
