A President of the United States can be impeached and stand trial for removal from the office under certain specific conditions. He or she must have committed treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment, whereas the Senate holds the exclusive right to conduct the trial of the impeachment.

∙ 12y agoIf the president dies the vice-president takes the office. If the president is alive, there is a complicated procedure for allowing the vice-president to act as president temporarily spelled out in Amendment 25 of the US Constitution. The amendment considers the cases where the President voluntarily yields his powers and when he does not , as well as the process of returning the powers to President if he recovers.
