If there is persuasive evidence that the President of the United States has committed treason, the Constitution provides for impeachment as the primary mechanism for addressing such misconduct. Article II, Section 4 states that the President can be impeached for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The House of Representatives has the authority to initiate impeachment proceedings and can vote to impeach the President. If impeached, the case then moves to the Senate, which conducts a trial and ultimately decides whether to remove the President from office, requiring a two-thirds majority vote.
