Article Two, Section Four of the U.S. Constitution says presidents shall be impeached and removed from office if they commit "high crimes and misdemeanors."

Many have called for President Trump's ouster. Allan Lichtman, dubbed 'Prediction Professor' for accurately calling every presidential election since 1984, is out with a new book and a bold prediction: that President Trump will soon get the boot.
