How do you fire the president?

Answer 1

Answer 1

The President of the United States of America cannot be 'fired' per se'.

But if we are to interpret 'Fired' as 'Removed from office' prior to the end of their term limit (4 year terms, with a maximum of two terms - that do not have to be consecutive); this can only be done if they are impeached.

Answer 2

Theoretically the citizens of the U.S. do have the power to fire the president and any government official. This would be stated in the Declaration of Independence. However, you would be prevented from doing so on the basis of "light and transient causes."

... Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security (Source: National Archives)

Answer 2

You'd generally bring that before the church council as a motion. It would be voted on and the minister would be handed his walking papers if it is approved.

Answer 3

You don't.

Any public official can be impeached, or removed from office upon being convicted of a crime.

You can also "fire" them in the sense that you don't re-elect them.

Answer 4

The president should be fired because he went against the oath of office.
