The legislative branch holds the power to remove the president from office on charges of illegal actions. This process is known as impeachment. For impeachment to occur, a majority vote of the house must be obtained in favor of the charges against the president. Following impeachment, which does not by itself remove the president, the president is tried by the senate. His ultimate removal requires a two thirds majority of the senators. Two presidents have been impeached, but none have ever been removed from office.
The House of Representatives , which is the lower chamber of the legislative branch of the US government, has the power to impeach the President. Impeachment requires the Senate to hold a trial which upon conviction by 2/3 of the Senate would remove the President from office,

The branch of government that can impeach federal officials is the legislative branch, specifically the United States Congress. The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment, which is the formal process of bringing charges against a federal official. If a federal official is impeached by the House of Representatives, the Senate then holds a trial to determine whether to convict and remove the official from office.
The President, Vice president, and all civil officers of the United States "may be removed from the Office on Impeachment for and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, Or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." The house has the sole power to impeach- accuse and bring charges.
