Impeachment is the process by which the House of Representatives brings charges against a federal official, such as the president or a federal judge, for alleged misconduct or wrongdoing. If a majority of the House votes to impeach, the case then goes to the Senate for trial. The Senate acts as a jury and decides whether to remove the official from office.
