Impeachment is a constitutional process used to remove a sitting president or other federal officials from office for committing "high crimes and misdemeanors." It typically involves a two-step process: the House of Representatives votes to impeach, followed by a trial in the Senate to determine whether to convict and remove the official. Impeachment proceedings can occur at any time during a president's term, usually prompted by allegations of misconduct. Notable impeachments in U.S. history include those of Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton, with varying outcomes.
