I wanted to know the number of vice presidents that have taken over for a president that has either died or otherwise left office, i.e. gotten impeached.

California has several (52 I believe) representatives in the house. The US Vice president holds office in the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House in Washington, DC.

Traditionally, the impeachment process begins with the House Judiciary Committee holding hearings. If the committee then passes an impeachment resolution and accompanying articles of impeachment, those go to the full House. And if the resolution and articles are approved (by a simple majority), the president is impeached, the equivalent of being formally charged. \n\nThat is the first step of a two-step process. There is then a trial in the Senate, with members of the House serving as prosecutor and the chief justice serving as judge. If the Senate finds the president guilty of any of the articles of impeachment – by a two-thirds vote – he is removed from office and the vice president immediately assumes the presidency.

The same reason he hasn't been impeached for other transgressions that were clearly questionable. Nixon was impeached for far less than Bush .I hope they do something soon before he runs our country totally in the ground.

Gerald Ford.\n\nMade VP for Nixon when Agnew resigned, then made Prez, when Nixon resigned. Thus not voted in by actual people. (But was confirmed as VP by senate.)\n\nI don't think it is clear if someone can go for more than 8 years if they are not elected to the third term. Like if Bush fired Cheny (boo), then picked Bill Clinton (yea), and then Bush resigned. I think Bill could fill out the rest of Bush's term.\n\nIn fact, I very much wish he would.\n\nAnd of course FDR was elected to 4 terms, but died in the begining of the fourth. The amendment limited Presidental terms came after - and because of - FDRs 4 terms.

well remember fdr ran for 4 terms after that a const. admt was passes limiting his term for 10 years max (2 elected term ans 2 year if he was the vp and the previous president died or left office)

Impeachment is reserved for 'high crimes and misdemeanors'. Incompetence doesn't qualify - if it did, half of the government would be gone.

No.  Besides, a petition won't get a president impeached.  It takes an act of the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach a president, then the U.S. Senate has to convict for the president to actually lose his job.\n\nWe'll see how successful your petition is!

cherriest14 - A few points for you:\n\nFIRST: Just who in the hell did Cheney shoot and kill??? Harry Whittington was accidentally shot by Cheney on a hunting trip. Whittington not only survived the accident but has already been released from the hospital. A far cry from being killed in my book.\n\nAnd you think no one blinked an eye over the incident? The media went after Cheney as if he had driven the last nail on the cross over it. Did you not pay attention to the news the entire two weeks after the incident??\n\nSECONDLY: Clinton's bl0wj0b did not almost get him impeached. Here are the fact:\n\n* Clinton received oral from Monica Lewinsky.\n* Clinton lied under oath about said services\n* Clinton got caught lying and was impeached (impeachment is the process of being charged ... NOT the processed of being removed from office)\n* Clinton WAS impeached, tried and not convicted\n\nI said not convicted intentionally, because he was guilty of the charges - he admitted it and received a censure from Congress and had to withdraw from the bar for five years.\n\nWe conservative are not angry over the bl0wj0b. Hell, if I was President, I'd be hiring new interns on a daily basis. As the chief law enforcement officer of the land, it was unacceptable for Clinton to impede the investigation as much as he did and lie under oath about what happened. You don't think that if someone is questioning the President under oath, they pretty much have him nailed already??\n\nTHIRD: Why don't you do some basic research before you spout off your parroted idealogical bullsh!t. It just makes you look really, really stupid.

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each State delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.

If the votes are tied then the Veep has escaped "conviction" by a wide margin. It takes 2/3s of the Senators to remove someone from office, not just a majority. The Chief Justice presides over the trial but he does not cast a vote.

hate to give you the bad news but Clinton was never impeached....he faced an impeachment and he did lie but you know what you are right he did a lot more for this country than our current president has....I'd imagine he is still in office because the political heads in office wanted a pawn or a puppet....the man is a moron and it is obvious when he speaks.....one of the favorite things I heard that short little bastard say is he doesn't have to answer to anyone or explain himself to anyone.....he must have forgotten who he was working for for a moment.....but thankfully he will be gone in two more years

Once elected and after Congress has certified the Electoral votes, a President of The United States may only be removed from office by Impeachment. The right to impeach public officials is secured by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Sections 2 and 3, which discuss the procedure, and in Article II, Section 4, which indicates the grounds for impeachment: "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." Removing an official from office requires two steps: (1) a formal accusation, or impeachment, by the House of Representatives, and (2) a trial and conviction by the Senate. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the House; conviction is more difficult, requiring a two-thirds vote by the Senate. The vice president presides over the Senate proceedings in the case of all officials except the president, whose trial is presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Only two U.S. presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth chief executive, and your favorite, William J. Clinton, the forty-second.
