If you can prove it then article two of the constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Doesn't say anything about being irresponsible but I think an illegal gambling racket would do it.

You have to first get rid of the irresponsible president who has appointed the irresponsible judge!
