No. The impeachment vote is not a bill.
The Congress's decision on impeachment established a precedent for holding future presidents accountable for misconduct while in office. It clarified the grounds for impeachment, emphasizing that serious offenses, including abuse of power and obstruction of justice, could lead to removal from office. This set a constitutional framework that future Congresses can reference, reinforcing the principle that no president is above the law. Ultimately, it underscored the importance of checks and balances in the U.S. political system.
It depends on the country but yes,the chief justice would likely make a decision based on how complicated matters get if the senate or congress are split between impeachment of the current president.
Yes, a president can be impeached during a war. The impeachment process is governed by the U.S. Constitution and is not contingent on the state of war or peace. Historically, impeachment has occurred under various circumstances, including during times of conflict. Ultimately, the decision to impeach rests with Congress, which can take action regardless of external situations.
Actually it does state how. The impeachment starts in the House of Representatives where they pass a motion that the president has broken the law. A hearing is held and if 2/3 of the Senate vote for impeachment he is impeached.
No, he can not. Removal of a judge from the supreme court requires a majority in the Congress. I think it requires a two thirds majority. Need to check. The process is called impeachment.
the president cant make any decision he wants, congress is the one that can. if the president trys to he can get impeached
Yes. If the President is being tried for impeachment in the Senate, the Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) presides over his (or her) trial. For all other impeachment trials, a committee presides over the trial, but the President of the Senate (US Vice-President), or someone he or she designates, makes decision about points of procedure.
No. A judge may be removed from office for misconduct (breaking the law). But while that isn't listed as grounds for impeachment of a federal judge in and of itself. however, congress sets its own rules of evidence and there is no court of appeal for their decision. If the essence of the case were that the jurists decision was so flawed that it indicated that the jurist was permanently impaired, incompetent, or corrupt and refused to step down from the bench, then impeachment might be called for. Only 14 federal judges have been removed by impeachment since 1789.
It is up to the United States Senate to be in charge of impeachment proceedings. However, it is ultimately up to the president as to whether or not he resigns.
The President and the Congress may disagree.
