How can a president be lawfully removed?
If he is found to not be fit to stay in office, the cabinet can vote to have him removed. Then the vice president will become president. If the president can state in writing that he is fit to continue in office than he may continue. The cabinet then has 48 hours to present a case against the president, to have him removed. The reason that this is in the constitution is for medical reasons. This may not be entirely right, but that is how I understand it. Another way in my opinion would be if the president were to break his oath of office. (Which our president has done several times)

How many presidents are become in US?
Barack Obama is the 44th president. But we did not have 44 men who were sworn into office-- we only had 43, because one of the presidents, Grover Cleveland, was sworn in two separate times. Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms. He was the 22nd and the 24th president. So, Barack Obama's presidency is the 44th in our history, but 43 men have been elected since our first president, George Washington, took office in 1789.
