But what happens if Obama is impeached and removed from office? Most educated Americans know that in the event the President is removed from office that the Vice President becomes the next the President. When Richard Nixon resigned, Vice President Gerald Ford became the 38th President. If Obama is removed from office, Joe Biden would become our 45th President. However, I bet if you went into the inner city areas of many of the larger metropolises you would find a number of people who have no idea who would take over if Obama was impeached.
The president may be removed from office and never allowed to hold a government position again if he is found guilty. Our 17th president, Andrew Johnson, was impeached while in office. Thirty-five senators found him guilty -- just one vote short of the two-thirds vote necessary to convict him. President Richard Nixon resigned from office rather than face impeachment charges in the Watergate scandal in 1974. President Bill Clinton became the second president to be impeached by the House in 1998. Later, the Senate found him not guilty.
