Impeach is the process in which our president is removed.

To Charge An Official With A Crime

Impeach basically means there is enough evidence to bring the said offender to court to stand trial by the federal government in the United States of America.

In the US, impeachment is a legal term for the proceedings that the US House of Representatives can take to remove a federal official from office. Impeachment consists of passing by majority vote a list of charges against the official in question. The official is then said to be impeached and must stand trial in the Senate.

In general , impeach means to challenge ones credibility, to make charges against.

Impeachment- A formal document charging a public official with misconduct in office.

The House of Representatives votes yes or no to impeach. The US Senate then holds a trial and acts as judge AND jury. During the trial some members of the House act as prosecutor. The defendant may hire outside attorneys.

Impeachment means to take (vote) someone out of office.
