There are differing opinions on this matter, but one president who has been the subject of impeachment discussions is George W. Bush. Critics argue that his administration's handling of the Iraq War, including the false justification for invasion, the use of torture, and the warrantless wiretapping program, constituted impeachable offenses. However, no formal impeachment proceedings were initiated against him.
Has Barack Obama committed any impeachable offences according to the constitution?
No, he has not. You may have heard on political talk shows or read on certain websites that he has, but these claims are based on partisan opinion. In fairness, it should be noted that for decades, various presidents have been accused of impeachable offenses. Sometimes, these accusations are from their political enemies who are trying to cause some trouble. But sometimes, as with Richard Nixon, there were actual crimes that the president committed. However, Mr. Obama has not committed treason or other "high crimes and misdemeanors." He has made some controversial decisions, and gotten some people very upset with him; but the same can be said for all presidents at one time or other. Still, his political opponents keep wishing for his impeachment, even though there are no grounds for it.

Probably not.

Disagreeing with someone's political views is not grounds for impeaching them.
What must a US Supreme Court justice do in order to stay on the bench?
All they have to do is avoid being declared crazy. They are appointed for life, so the only ground for impeachment is if they are incapable of continuing their job. I guess they also have to not resign...Addition:Supreme Court justices are not appointed for "life," but "during good behavior." They need to avoid committing "high crimes and misdemeanors," the constitutional phrase for impeachable offenses. Supreme Court justices may be impeached, convicted and removed from office for the same reasons the US President can be impeached.* Justices who don't commit impeachable offenses may remain on the Court indefinitely, which is similar to a lifetime appointment.For more information about this subject, see Related Questions, below.
