Removal From Office
Aside from death, there are only three things which can effect a president's removal from office:
- A president can resign by notifying the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies.
- He or she may be deemed unable to execute his duties for "serious reasons" by a joint resolution of the Senate and the Chamber – although the president may appeal to the Constitutional Court have this resolution overturned.
- He or she may be impeached by the Senate for high treason, and convicted by the Constitutional Court.

Famous quotes containing the words removal and/or office:
“Anyone who seeks for the true causes of miracles, and strives to understand natural phenomena as an intelligent being, and not to gaze at them like a fool, is set down and denounced as an impious heretic by those, whom the masses adore as the interpreters of nature and the gods. Such persons know that, with the removal of ignorance, the wonder which forms their only available means for proving and preserving their authority would vanish also.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
