• The Constitution confers the power of removal of the President through impeachment to Congress, and Congress alone.
• First, Section 2 of Article I governing the legislative powers of the federal government provide the House “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” acting as the grand jury function in the impeachment process. The Senate has no role in initiating impeachment, and can only act if the House acts first. The absence of super-majority requirements provide the House to allow impeachment by a mere majority of it’s members present, like any other legislative act.
• Second, section 4 of Article II cabins what can constitute grounds for impeachment can result in removal, conditioning it upon three substantive claims — treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors, No specific definition is given of what constitutes “high crimes” but its analogy to treason and bribery provide some direction, as does the historical understanding of the term at the time of ratification — the kind of criminal act that endangers the Constitutional republic and cannot be answered by awaiting a Presidential election.  Treason itself is Constitutionally constricted definitionally in section 3 of Article 3 to “consist only in leving war, or in adhering to their Enemeies, giving them aid and comfort.”
• Third, Section 3 of Article I imposes further substantive constraints on Impeachment by limiting the legal consequences of impeachment “shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States” while coequally providing that conviction in impeachment does not act as double jeopardy against subsequent criminal prosecution.
• Fourth, Section 2 of Article 3 removes jury trials from “cases of impeachment” and removes the judicial branch from the Presidential impeachment process except for one limited role: the Chief Justice presiding over the trial.  Under Clause 6 of Section 4 of Article I, the Constitution confers the “sole power to try all impeachments” to the Senate, requiring a “concurrence of two thirds of the members present” to convict.
• Fifth, the judgment of conviction is not appealable to any other body, and the Senate’s declaration according to its own roles immedietly effects “removal from office.” It has no retroactive or retrospective effect on the legality or validity of any prior Presidential act, even if that act is the grounds for impeachment and conviction itself. Other than Chief Judge setting the rule for evidence admission, the interpretation of the impeachment clause and its impact is left to the judgment of the House and Senate alike. Theoretically, a Chief Justice could impose a different intepretation on the substantive meaning of the conditions of conviction, given its power to “preside over” the trial, but has generally not been interpreted or applied in that manner.

• Section 4 of Article II the Constitution provides the President “shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The House gets to be the sole judge of what constitutes a "high crime and misdemeanor" for impeachment while the Senate gets to be the sole judge of what facts constitute "a high crime and misdemeanor." 
• Clause 5 of Section 2 of Article I vests the power of Impeachment solely to the House of Representatives. Given no specific requirement as to support to impeach, the majority vote default rule presides historically.
• Clause 6 of Section 3 of Article I vests the power to try impeachments solely in the Senate, requiring "Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present." This means Senators who absent themselves from the Chamber may be excluded potentially from the baseline required to reach two-thirds. 
• Clause 6 of Section 1 of Article II provides that the Vice President obtains the powers of the President — “all executive powers of the federal government — “in case of” either “removal, death, resignation or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said Office.”
• In the instance both are removed, resigned, die, or are unable to discharge the duties, then Congress may legislate what Officer shall then act as President. The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 provides that the Speaker of the House becomes the officer who becomes President in case of Presidential and Vice Presidential absence, followed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and then the cabinet in priority of when that cabinet office was first established. In that last instance, the Secretary of State is first, the Secretary of Treasury second, and the Secretary of Defense third.
• The Twenthy Fifth Amednment slightly amends that process, still proving the succession protocols. In the case of removal, or death or resignation, “the Vice President shall become President.” Replacement of the Vice President requires Presidential nomination and “confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”
