In theory, yes. Practically no, unless he loses his mind.
No, President Obama cannot be impeached as he has already completed his two terms in office. Impeachment is a process reserved for current presidents who are accused of committing high crimes or misdemeanors.
If Obama were to be impeached by the House of Representatives, he would then face trial in the Senate. If he were found guilty of High Crimes and Misdemeanors he would be removed from office and Joe Biden would become President. If his crimes were serious enough, he could then be indited in a normal court if he were not simply pardoned by Biden.
All government officials can be impeached and its the safeguard against corruption at the federal level. The president can be impeached as well as any other holder of public office.
Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were the only presidents that were impeached by the House. Neither were removed from office, that is done through the senate. Nixon would have been impeached, however he resigned from office to avoid impeachment.
Yes, I'm afraid he is. Obama must be removed from office if there is any hope of saving the nation, and the world, from the coming dark age.
That's not likely.
If the President were legally impeached and convicted, the vice-president would take his office and become President. No reason to think that he would be more dictatorial than Obama.
Rod Blagojevich was removed from the governor's office due to his involvement in a corruption scandal. He was arrested in December 2008 on federal charges, including attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. In January 2009, the Illinois State Legislature impeached him, and he was subsequently removed from office, making him the first Illinois governor to be impeached and removed. Blagojevich was later convicted and sentenced to prison for his crimes.
Only if the current Chief Justice (John G. Roberts, Jr.) dies, retires, resigns or is impeached while President Obama is still in office.
There were resolutions introduced by some members of Congress to impeach President Obama, but none of them gained significant traction or support. Ultimately, no impeachment proceedings were initiated against President Obama during his tenure in office.
The vice president becomes the new President if the President vacates his office for any reason, including death, resignation, or forced removal via the impeachment process. Note that the President would remain president after impeachment until and unless the Senate votes to convict. Being impeached is roughly equivalent to when a criminal is indicted or charged with a crime. After that a trial is held and unless they are convicted, nothing happens. Both Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton were impeached. Neither was convicted by the Senate so they each remained president. If the Vice President is impeached as well, the Speaker of the House becomes President.
