Censure
A votes of censure is a vote showing that a majority does not support the policy of a leader or governing body. It is a congressional procedure for reprimanding the President of the United States, a member of Congress, or a judge, and has no explicit basis in the Constitution.
No. If that were possible, a President could abuse the power to remove his political opponents from office. Senators may censure (discipline) or remove members of the Senate, and the House of Representatives may censure or remove members of the House. This is a rare occurrence, however.
That is the correct spelling of the term "censure" (to rebuke).
Censure is a verb. It describes an action of strongly disapproving of something. Censure is also a noun, a strong disapproval.
Not much. The Senate can vote to censure the Senator, which amounts to less than a slap on the wrist.
The censure of the crowd disappointed the performers.
Only the men that were rich could vote, women could not vote.
Jackson was never impeached. Perhaps you are thinking Andrew Johnson. The US senate passed a vote of censure in 1834 when Jackson ordered federal fund removed for the National Bank. There is no constitutional authority for censure and it has no power, except to register the displeasure of the Senate in a formal way.
