In many countries the title president is self bestowed, after a military coup for instance, and there is no legal recourse for impeachment. In the others there is a rule or law to follow to impeach a president

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Impeachment is the process of which congress tries the president or another U.S. official for one of those reasons stated. Despite what would seem an obvious yes to your question, high crimes and misdemeanors is actually rather vague. Congress's interpretation of this power is questioned the most in the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, which was a new law passed by Republicans to keep a super majority.
