Impeachment is a formal process used to accuse and potentially remove an elected official, such as a president or judge, from office for misconduct. It typically involves the legislature investigating and voting on charges, which can include bribery, treason, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. If the official is impeached by a majority vote in the House of Representatives, the case moves to the Senate for a trial, where a two-thirds majority is required for removal from office. Impeachment does not automatically mean removal; it is essentially the political equivalent of an indictment.

The 100 Senators act as the jury and the VP, as President of the Senate, acts as the judge, unless the person on trial is the president or himself/herself. In this case the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court acts as the judge. A 2/3 vote of the Senate is needed to convict the accused and remove him/her from office.
