In Pennsylvania, the impeachment of a governor can be initiated by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. A majority vote in the House is required to impeach the governor, which then leads to a trial in the Pennsylvania Senate. The Senate must reach a two-thirds majority to convict and remove the governor from office. Impeachment can occur for various reasons, including misconduct or violation of the law.
