Impeachment serves as a crucial check on the executive branch by allowing Congress to remove a president or other federal officials for committing "high crimes and misdemeanors." This process ensures accountability and deters abuse of power, as officials are aware that misconduct can lead to their removal from office. By establishing a formal mechanism for oversight, impeachment reinforces the principle of separation of powers within the government. Ultimately, it helps maintain the integrity of the executive branch and uphold the rule of law.
