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.
