Who does the congress have the ability to impeach?

Answer 1

Article I Section 2 of the United States Constitution grants authority to the Congress to impeach presidents, judges, and civil officers. The steps include House committee hearings and a vote to impeach. Impeachment is then conducted by the House followed by the Senate. In the Impeachment of William Clinton he was found guilty in the House, but innocent by the Senate.

Answer 2

The U.S. House of Representatives has sole power to impeach "the President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States". The Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments.

Impeachment is merely the formal presentation of charges against an official, like an indictment is in criminal court.

The Constitution grants the House and Senate the power to expel their own members with a two-thirds vote.

Answer 3

Only the House of Representatives can impeach a president. Impeachment is something like an indictment, it is a formal accusation and not a conviction. After impeachment by the House of Representatives, the Senate tries the president and decides guilt or innocence. Two US presidents, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, have been impeached. Neither was found guilty by the Senate. Nixon was probably heading for impeachment, but he was pardoned by Gerald Ford before that could happen.

Answer 4

the president for one, or anyone, who they feel is not serving along the guidelines of the constitution or the oath the took.
