Is impeachment the same as being thrown out of office?
Skepticalchymist
No, impeachment which is done in the House of Representatives, simply means that the official must stand trial in the Senate. The Senate must convict by a 2/3 vote to throw an official out of office.

How does ruling that the president cannot remove the vice president from office help prevent the president from making the vice president a true assistant?
The Vice President has more responsibility than being the President's assistant. He/She serves as President of the US Senate as well overseeing several other aspects of the exeutive government. During an election the President and Vice President are elected on the same ticket. People vote for a VP candidate hoping that he/she will be in office for entire four year term. The only way a VP can be removed from office is by death, resignation, or impeachment and subsequent conviction by the US Congress.
What is impeachment of a president?
The legal meaning of impeachment is "to bring charges against."The President, Vice-President, Federal judges (including Supreme Court justices) and "civil officers," which Congress defines as anyone a President appointed, are the government officials eligible for impeachment.Chargeable offenses are constitutionally defined as "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors," a vague term that can mean anything from a breach of ethics, professional misconduct, an act against the government's best interest, or criminal behavior (essentially, whatever the House of Representatives decides it means). Officials cannot be impeached for being disliked taking an unpopular stance on an issue; some form of actual wrongdoing must be involved.Impeachment is a two-step process similar to a Grand Jury indictment and trial in criminal cases. One or more members of the House of Representatives bring "Articles of Impeachment" (charges) again a government official, and the House votes whether to "Impeach" (indict, send to trial).The Senate conducts the impeachment or removal trial. If two-thirds of the Senate votes to convict the official on the articles of impeachment, the person is removed from office; otherwise, the person is acquitted and nothing further is done.Impeachment means charging a public official with misconduct in office.
Can the president divorce his wife while in office?
Probably. He would have to follow the same process as anyone else to get a divorce. Sometimes it takes considerable time to get a settlement, particular if a lot of money is involved. He might be out of office before the divorce went through. (Divorce alone would not be grounds for impeachment if that is the point of the question.)
What does it mean to impeach on official?
Impeachment of a federal officer means to stand trial in the U.S. Senate. A majority vote of 2/3 will result to a conviction, and if found guilty, the officer is removed from his position and possibly face criminal charges.
What happens when the President Dies or leaves office?
the vice president takes over untill end of term No. When the Vice President accedes to the Presidency and becomes President, that individual is subject to precisely the same Constitutional provisions, including potentially being subject to impeachment and removal from office.
What is each role played by each house in the impeachment process?
The House of Representatives must first decide if the President, Vice President, or a civil officer has committed an impeachable offense. Then the members of the house must pass the articles of impeachment, which are the formal allegations against the impeachable official. The articles of impeachment must pass the House with a majority vote. This is the end of the impeachment process, because at this time the official has been impeached, that is articles of impeachment have been served against them. The next process involves a trial in the Senate. The Senate tries the accused according the the articles of impeachment and a 2/3 majority is needed to convict. If convicted, the accused is removed from office and, if the Senate sees fit, barred from holding other government positions (elected or otherwise). The removal of a government official from office is NOT the same as impeachment; impeachment is one step in the process of removing an official from office. For instance, Andrew Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, but he was acquitted by the Senate so he was not removed from office.

Which one will fall first if thrown from a same height- 5kg or 10kg?
Depends which one is thrown first ... you didn't mention whether they're thrown at the same or different times. If they're dropped, or thrown in exactly the same way, at exactly the same time, from exactly the same height, then they'll hit the ground at exactly the same time.
What should be done to a President of The US who goes against a Constitutional right?
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.
How can a ball thrown vertically have the same time flight as a ball thrown at an angle when they have the same maximum height?
They might seem like they have the same flight patterns, but they don't. A 12-6 curveball thrown by an over-hander will go from 12 to 6, but if the same is thrown by a 3/4 or side-armer, the ball will react a little more like a slider.
Why do cats and dogs react so strongly to water being thrown in their faces?
There is nothing mysterious about this. Dogs and cats do not like having water thrown in their faces for the same reasons that human beings do not like having water thrown in their faces. You, personally, probably do not like having water thrown in your face, unless you are very overheated. And let us remember, a human being with a wet face usually has the opportunity to dry off his or her face with a towel; animals do not have that opportunity.

What constitutes a impeachment?
In the US, the grounds for impeachment of the president are enumerated in Article Two, Section Four of the Constitution: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High crimes and misdemeanors. In short: If the president commits treason, bribery, or "high crimes and misdemeanors," he is eligible for impeachment. "High crimes and misdemeanors" is a catch-all clause; at the time the Constitution was written, a "high crime" was a legal term understood to mean "against the state;" thus any crime that subverts the government is considered a high crime or misdemeanor. The president is impeached when bill to impeach is passed by the House. After the House's impeachment, the case will be sent to the Senate, which will hold a trial and eventually vote. If 2/3 of the Senate vote to convict, president will be removed from office and the vice president will take his seat. Otherwise, the President remains in office.
