How can you impeach the president?

Answer 1

There are a number of things that must happen for a president to be impeached. He must have violated the constitution and will appear for trial in the Senate. If the Senate convicts him he leaves office immediately and the vice president assumes office.

Answer 2

First the House of Representatives must come up with articles of impeachment, or written reason to impeach. Then they must get a majority vote on at least one of the articles. That is when he is impeached. From there, it is taken to the Senate to see if the president is removed from office.

Answer 3

The US House of Representative passes a bill of Impeachment which lists the charges against the President. The passage of such a bill, which requires only a simple majority to pass, requires the US Senate to hold a trial, based on these charges. After the charges are presented and debated, the Senates votes on conviction, a two-thirds majority needed for conviction. If the President is convicted, he is removed from office. Otherwise, the trial is over that is the end of the matter. Separate votes can be taken if there are multiple charges.

Answer 4

A willingness of the House to vote to do so.

Answer 5

Impeachment is done by the House of Representatives and requires a simple majority vote. Conviction is done by the Senate and requires a 2/3 majority to convict.
