impeach

Their are two phases.

1. The House of Representatives must vote, with a simple majority, to impeach the official, in your question it would be the President. This is similar to the acts a Grand Jury would take. If the vote is made the person is impeached, or formally accused.

2. After the President has been impeached, the Senate then tries the case. The Senate acts as a jury, and a 2/3 majority of all Senators present is necessary for a conviction.

I hope this helped.

What is the power to make a law in congress called?

In speaking about the US Congress, an idea for a new law or a change in an existing law is called a bill. If both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate agree on this piece of legislation that they believe should now be the "law of the land" the bill is sent to the US President to sign into law. If the president is opposed to the legislation there is a process to either alter the bill or for a president to veto a bill. Often times there is a compromise between the president and congress to enable the bill to be signed into law.
