impeachable
Subject to removal
Impeachable describes conduct or a person subject to impeachment—the formal accusation process for removing officials from office.
A president's actions may be deemed impeachable if they constitute high crimes or misdemeanors.
More loosely, impeachable means open to challenge or doubt: His motives are impeachable.
The opposite, unimpeachable, is far more common.
