Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body, typically Congress in the United States, formally charges an official with misconduct. The terms for impeachment generally require a majority vote in the House of Representatives to bring charges, known as articles of impeachment. Following this, a trial is conducted in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is needed to convict and remove the official from office. The grounds for impeachment typically include "high crimes and misdemeanors," a broad term encompassing various forms of misconduct.
