In the United States the term impeachment means that a public official must be tried for breaking a law or has exhibited behavior that is contrary to their oath of office. It is like an indictment, listing the charges against the person being impeached. At the federal level, only the House of Representatives has the power to impeach and the Senate conducts the impeachment trials.
Some people confuse this term, and think it means to remove someone from office. For instance, people often say to impeach a president that they don't like, thinking it means to kick him out of office.
However, impeaching a president does not remove him from office. There have been previous presidents that were impeached, but still served their full term in office, such as Bill Clinton. He was impeached over the Monica Lewinsky scandal, but it did not effect his term. It only meant that he was tried for misconduct.
