Impeachment is the first step in removing an elected official from office before his term ends. The House of Representatives can impeach the president or other federal official by passing a motion that lists the charges against the official. The US senate is then required to hold a trial based on these charges. If two-thirds of the senators vote to convict after the trial is held, the official is removed from office.
When the house of Representatives impeaches a US President, they charge him with a "high crime or misdemeanor." It is then the responsibility of the US Senate to conduct a trial and determine whether to convict the President. If the president is convicted by the Senate, he looses his office. If he is not convicted, he remains in office. Bill Clinton was impeached but not convicted, so he served out the whole of his term of office.
