What does the word impeachment mean in regards to the consituti on?
An impeachment is similar to an indictment in the criminal system. A body (The US House of Representatives, in the case of elected Federal officers) hears evidence and decides if there is cause to believe the person should be removed from office.Then there is a trial in the US Senate, similar to a jury trial, where evidence is presented and the body of Senators decides if, in fact, there will be a removal.Example: President Clinton was impeached by the House, but acquitted by the Senate, and thus was not removed from office.Impeachment or threats of impeachment are often used to make political points, but the trials that follow rarely result in convictions.
