Yes. But it's virtually impossible to enforce such a thing. They've only 
ever impeached I think 3 or 4 presidents (Nixon, Clinton, and maybe 1 or 2 
others way back), and I don't think any have actually been forcably removed 
from office.

The problem is that you have the lawmakers enforcing laws against 
themselves. Not gonna happen, at least in our culture. I'm glad Finland 
isn't as fucked as we are.
