Can a Pope be impeached?

"Can a Pope be impeached?" Yes, it happened to Pope Benedict. That's how we got Pope Marx.

But I think it was more of an inside coup than an impeachment.

Can a Pope be impeached?

I've read that such a thing would only be possible if the original papal election was somehow invalid. For example, if it could be shown that Francis was not in fact a Catholic at the time of his election, he would be ineligible to become Pope, and his election would be invalid.

It would be interesting to hear from some Freeper who really knows Church law.
