Impeachment is a formal process by which a sitting president, vice president, or other federal officials can be charged with misconduct, typically involving crimes or violations of public trust. In the United States, the process begins in the House of Representatives, where a simple majority is needed to approve articles of impeachment. If impeached, the official is then tried in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is required for conviction and removal from office. This process serves as a system of checks and balances to hold officials accountable for their actions.
