Impeachment is where a governing body accuses a public official of committing illegal acts. If the official is found guilty, punishment can include removal from office as well as criminal and civil penalties. In the United States, Congress has power to impeach the President, and has done so twice: Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton. In both cases the sitting president was impeached but in neither case did the Senate choose to convict so although both were impeached, neither was removed from office.
