What is impeachment and who is involved?

Impeachment is a political process that begins when an official is accused of engaging in illegal behavior (such as bribery or treason) and could potentially be stripped of their office or face another punishment. The specifics of the impeachment process varies from country to country. In the United States of America, both federal and state officials can be impeached. For federal officials, a majority of the U.S. House of Representatives must approve the accusation(s) being made against the official. Then, the U.S. Senate will try the accused. If two-thirds of senators present believe that the accused official is guilty, then the official will be impeached. The Constitution of the United States does not specify who should be in charge of the impeachment process, but historically, the Vice-President or an official presiding over the Senate has assumed this position. If the President of the United States is being impeached, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court is in charge of the process.

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.
