In theory, the people since the president is supposed to answer to us. In reality, I have no clue.

Congress via impeachment.
Ironically, the one instance that deserved impeachment didn't result in impeachment (only because Nixon resigned first).
The only two Presidents impeached were impeached more for political reasons than actual wrong doing. The offenses leveled have been trivial (offenses totally unrelated to Presidential duties defined by the Constitution) or extremely gray areas. The validity of the charges have had little to do with the votes for/against impeachment since it's usually been nearly impossible to deny the President in question actually committed the behavior he was impeached for. The nay votes were mostly because the person voting felt the charge wasn't a valid reason for impeachment in the first place.

Congress -- if the "wrong" is violation of federal laws, or betrayal of oath of office -- the process is called Impeachment.
The Supreme Court can issue orders to the President regarding specific interpretations of specific laws or constitutional provisions -- but if (as Bush has twice so far) the President chooses to ignore those orders, there is little the Court do about it.

The people, through their duly elected and/or appointed representatives. Certain actions are illegal, and a president can be held accountable in a court of law. Some are legal but unacceptable, and a president can be subjected to the impeachment process. It's our duty to participate in the civic process as much as possible, because we as citizens are the first line of defense against poor leadership and only judges of his or her success that matter.

Congress has the ability to impeach the president. This power is design to deal with a president who has committed serious criminal actions. Not because left-wing nutjobs dont like his policies.

The citizen of the country can punish the president, by no reelecting him or by asking him to step down but you need a majority for it

The house of Representatives or the senate committee has the power to impeach the president of the United States take for example "Richard M. Nixon" was impeached for his involvement of the WATERGATE SCANDAL

The Senate would have to agree to have a investigation into the matter then have hearings to determine wrong doing then a impeachment process could begin.

What more can they do wrong than they already have and got away with being a Dictator. I bow my head in shame to have a person of his caliber living in our White House.

40 advisors,his decisions are not always
