There are four ways a Presidential vacancy may occur:

1. Death

2. Resignation

3. Impeachment

4. Incapacitation

The President may be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors". The House of Representatives must vote for impeachment, and the US Senate then conducts a trial to determine the outcome.

Two Presidents William Clinton and Andrew Johnson) have been impeached by the House of Representatives, and in both cases the Senate acquitted, so neither were removed from office.

Richard Nixon resigned under the threat of an impending impeachment, but he the House did not vote on impeachment since he resigned first.

The 25th Amendment allows for a majority of the Cabinet and Vice President to declare the President incapable of fulfilling the duties of the office by notifying both houses of Congress. The Vice President becomes the acting President.
