Nixon’s resignation ahead of what certainly would have been an impeachment trial should probably be enough to put the US in the 3rd category.

Interesting how rare impeachment and removal is globally—power tends to protect itself.

Peru has impeached the last six presidents. Should have a special colour and category.

Misleading map. Impeachments are impossible in parliamentary democracies (which means half of the world is already disqualified). The Prime Ministers of the UK, Australia, India, Canada, Pakistan, NZ (and countless others) are in office by virtue of holding confidence over the majority of the members of their Parliament. They can only be removed when their Parliament votes in such a manner.
If you’re considering votes of no confidence in parliamentary democracies, the map changes very quickly. The last British government to be voted out of office by its own Parliament was in 1979, in India it was in 1999.

Nixon resigned before the impeachment was passed, but they were written up and on the schedule already. So I think it should count toward the blue/green category.

Impeachment seems to be pretty common for Latin American presidents.

Belgium: In 1990 King Baudouin was removed from the throne for 36 in order for a law to pass.
King Baudouin felt unable to give royal assent to a law to provide and protect abortion right into a royal decree as he had moral objections being a devout catholic.
He asked his prime minister to find a solution that would satisfy both him morally and the will of the people. By the power of the Constitution of Belgium, The government found the king unfit to rule, signed the law into power and then, 36 hours after reinstated the king as fit to rule.

What a ridiculous map honestly. Impeachments don’t apply to Parliamentary systems and absolute monarchiea to begin with

Brazil had both a president impeached and removed from office and another who resigned during impeachment trial (as an attempt to avoid losing political rights, but that didn’t work)

A simple vote of no confidence removes an Irish PM (Taoiseach). The government only governs with the support of parliament. By convention the government losing a vote on a significant piece of legislation, particularly on the budget, also results in their demise at it would be deemed the parliament had no confidence in them.
They can also (and regularly do) table motions of no confidence in the PM, deputy PM or individual government ministers.
We’ve a non executive president who can be impeached but it’s never come up.

Bad scale. Non mutually exclusive categories, and doesnt separate non presidential system countries.
