Yes, there certainly is! If the President (or any other government official) commits a high crime, the House of Representatives may censure, or file a disciplinary suit, against him or her. The Senate then takes a vote on it; if the majority of the senators present agree that the person in consideration deserves punishment, then they will be removed from office and the next in command will take their place.

the abode of Representatives impeaches (indicts) the president, the Senate tries the case. No president has been removed from place of work by applying the technique of impeachment and Senate trial, yet 2 presidents have been impeached - Andrew Johnson and bill Clinton.

Only through impeachment & there are very, very strict guidelines to what is an impeachable offense. They are strict to stop the opposing party from trying to use their "power" to unseat the president. Only 2 presidents have ever been impeached - Andrew Johnson & Bill Clinton. (Nixon resigned)

Yes. This is why Gerald Ford became president. He was never elected to the office. He took over for Nixon after the Watergate scandal.
