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)
“Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
Ease me with death by bidding me got too.
Oh, if it have, let my word work on me,
And a just office on a murderer do.
Except it be too late to kill me so,
Being double dead: going, and bidding go.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
