The Legislative Branch, specifically the The House of Representatives has the power to impeach a federal government official, including the President. "impeach" means to pass a bill which lists the charges against the official involved which they believe warrant his removal from office. If a simple majority of the House votes to impeach, the Senate holds a trial, then votes on whether to convict or acquit (find not guilty). A two-thirds majority is required to convict.
