What are articles of impeachment?
Articles of Impeachment are precise statement of the facts upon which an impeachment of a government official is based. In the US Constitution under Article I Section 3, for example, the President can be impeached and removed only for Treason, Bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. The House of Representatives draws up and votes on the Articles of Impeachment stating the facts that allegedly amount to those offenses. Articles of Impeachment are likened to the counts of an indictment against a defendant in a criminal case.Note: Impeachment refers to the process. Impeachment does not mean removal. A conviction for impeachment means automatic removal from office.

What can lead to the impeachment of the head of executive branch?
To impeach a member of the executive branch, a member of the House of Representatives introduces a resolution that articles of impeachment be prepared and served. The articles are statements of the reasons for the impeacment. The resolution must be seconded for it to be put up for a full vote. If it is put up for a vote, and a majority of the Representatives vote in favor of the resolution, a committee of Representatives is formed to put together specific Articles of Impeachment. Once the specific article are prepared another resolution is introduced, seconded and voted on to adopt those particular articles as the grounds for impeachment. If that resolution is adopted the executive department member is impeached. Mere impeachment does not remove the person from office. Impeachment is akin to an indictment only. After impeachment there has to be a trial on the merits of the articles of impeachment before the Senate. To convict and remove an executive member, a 2/3 vote of the Senators is required.
