What does the Impeacment mean?

Impeachment is a formal process through which a government official, typically a president, is accused of misconduct or wrongdoing while in office. It involves legislative bodies, such as the House of Representatives and the Senate in the United States, where the official can be charged with "high crimes and misdemeanors." If impeached by the House, the official is then tried in the Senate, which can lead to removal from office if convicted. Impeachment serves as a mechanism to hold officials accountable and maintain checks and balances within the government.

What is impeachment of a president?

The legal meaning of impeachment is "to bring charges against."The President, Vice-President, Federal judges (including Supreme Court justices) and "civil officers," which Congress defines as anyone a President appointed, are the government officials eligible for impeachment.Chargeable offenses are constitutionally defined as "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors," a vague term that can mean anything from a breach of ethics, professional misconduct, an act against the government's best interest, or criminal behavior (essentially, whatever the House of Representatives decides it means). Officials cannot be impeached for being disliked taking an unpopular stance on an issue; some form of actual wrongdoing must be involved.Impeachment is a two-step process similar to a Grand Jury indictment and trial in criminal cases. One or more members of the House of Representatives bring "Articles of Impeachment" (charges) again a government official, and the House votes whether to "Impeach" (indict, send to trial).The Senate conducts the impeachment or removal trial. If two-thirds of the Senate votes to convict the official on the articles of impeachment, the person is removed from office; otherwise, the person is acquitted and nothing further is done.Impeachment means charging a public official with misconduct in office.
