What is the process by which the president may be removed from office?

Answer 1

A president may be impeached if Congress becomes convinced that he has broken the law or otherwise acted inapropriately while in office. Impeachment is done by a majority vote in the House of Representatives.

Once they have voted to impeach; the Presidents alleged wrongdoings are investigated and then the Senate votes. If two thirds of the senators agree that he should be removed from office he is required to step down immediatley, otherwise he remains in office.

Answer 2

The process begins with impeachment by the House of Representatives. The House passes a bill by a simple majority which lists the charges against the President.

This impeachment requires the US Senate to hold a trial based on the charges. The Chief Justice of the US presides over the trial. After all the evidence is heard the Senate serves as the jury and votes to acquit or convict. A two-thirds majority is required to convict.

(Note that impeachment does not remove the President from office but is only the first step in the process.)

There is also a process, given in amendment 25, for temporarily removing a sick or mentally unstable President, either voluntarily or involuntarily, as well as a process for restoring his powers. The vice president and a majority of the cabinet can begin the involuntary process and 2/3 of Congress mush concur.

Answer 3

A US President may be impeached (accused) by a vote of the House, and convicted by a vote of the Senate, which results in her removal from office. Several presidents have been impeached - none have been convicted.

Answer 4

I know of three ways that a U.S. President can be legally removed from office in the midst of his/her term:

1. Someone convinces him/her to resign.
2. The U.S. House of Representatives presents grounds for the impeachment of the President, and at least two thirds of the U.S. Senate assembled find him/her guilty in an impeachment trial.
3. The Vice President and a majority of the President's Cabinet communicate in writing to the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the presidency. If the President communicates in writing to the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate that no inability exists, within four days the Vice President and a majority of the President's Cabinet again communicate in writing to the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the presidency. Then if within 21 days, or 23 days if Congress was not in session, at least two thirds of each house of Congress agree by vote with the declaration of the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet, the Vice President continues on as Acting President. (This is a paraphrase of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.)
