What would a president have to do to get impeached and removed?

Answer 1

Under Article II of Section 4 in the U.S. Constitution "...shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

The exact definition of what constitutes an impeachable offense is up to Congress to decide. The House decides what the charges are. The Senate holds the trial and serves as jury with the Chief Justice presiding in the trial.

Answer 2

In order to be impeached, the President has to commit high crimes and misdemeanors and/or be derelict in his duties as determined by the House of Representatives in a bill of impeachment passed by them. Such impeachment requires the Senate to hold a trial based on the impeachment charges and vote by a 2/3 majority to remove the President from office. The Constitution does not attempt to precisely specify the grounds for removal from office.
