What circumstances could lead to the impeachment of a U.S. president?

Retry Correct Incorrect Impeachment of the president for treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Impeachment doesn’t mean automatic removal of the president, however, as it leads to a Senate trial. While three presidents have been impeached, none were removed from office.
