What else can I help you with?
What can get get you removed from the oval office?
That would be an impeachment (accusation) by the House of Representatives, and a conviction by the Senate. The reason for impeachment is generally due to a crime committed by the President. No President has ever been convicted and "removed from the oval office", though several have been impeached, the most recent being President Clinton.

If you are talking about impeachment, the Senate tries the president and can convict him of impeachment charges passed by the House. If the president actually committed a crime, he could be indicted, tried and convicted by the court system like any other citizen.

Can a president claim immunity for crime committed before president?
No. But he/she can be immune while holding office.
What would happen if the Senate rejected a treaty negotiated by the president?
Then the country would still be considered at war although the president could remove the troops from the country and station them all in the states and other allied nations. Congress holds all power over War and Treaties but the U.S. president controls the Military in the end he could be impeached but since no crime has been committed all it would be is a big publicity stunt that wasted U.S. tax dollars.
What is the only crime that cannot be heard in the US Supreme Court?
Per Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution, cases of impeachment (which is not a crime, per se, but a process for dealing with a government official who has committed one or more illegal or unethical acts) are initiated in the House of Representatives and tried in the Senate. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate trial if the President of the United States is on trial; otherwise, the Vice-President runs the proceedings.
What House of Representatives believe the president is guilty?
Any U.S. Representative, and only a U.S. Representative, may introduce articles of impeachment regarding any federal official, including the President, who is suspected to have committed bribery, treason, a high crime (a felony (?)) or a misdemeanor. If the House passes the articles of impeachment against the President, a trial is held in the Senate, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding (the Chief Justice presides only when the President is the subject of the impeachment). At the end of the trial the Senate votes "guilty" or "not guilty". If at least two thirds of the Senators vote "guilty", the President is immediately removed from office and the Vice President becomes President. If less than two thirds of the Senate votes guilty, he is acquitted.
What is a duty of the Senate but not the House of Representatives?

How do you consider Clinton impeached when he was not removed from office?
Impeachment just means that the House of Representatives thought that Clinton had committed a crime, and that he should be put on trial. It's basically the same as an indictment. Once a president has been impeached by the House, the Senate holds a special court trial to try to convict the president of whatever crime he has been impeached for. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court acts as the judge in the trial. Clinton did indeed go through a trial but he was acquitted when the Senate failed to get enough votes to convict- it needs to be a two-thirds majority.
