Impeachment, in the U.S. and Great Britain, proceeding by a legislature for the removal from office of a public official charged with misconduct in office. Impeachment comprises both the act of formulating the accusation and the resulting trial of the charges; it is frequently but erroneously taken to mean only the removal from office of an accused public official. An impeachment trial may result in either an acquittal or in a verdict of guilty. In the latter case the impeached official is removed from office; if the charges warrant such action, the official is also remanded to the proper authorities for trial before a court."

This is the name of the process of removing a president from office?

The process is popularly called "impeachment", but this is a misnomer. "Impeachment" means indictment and refers only to the first part of the procedure, which takes place in the House of Representatives. The second part is called "conviction" and can happen only after the President has already been impeached. Conviction by the Senate automatically results in removal from office.
