Answer
The President can be removed by impeachment and conviction for Treason, Bribery, or high crimes.

Answer for screen readers
The President can be removed from office through impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by a two-thirds Senate vote for Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
More Information
Impeachment is a multi-step process. The House of Representatives must first pass articles of impeachment, effectively charging the President with misconduct. Then the Senate holds a trial and, if two-thirds of the Senate vote to convict, the President is removed.
Tips
A common mistake is to think impeachment alone removes a President; without Senate conviction, the President remains in office.
