Parliamentary systems can hold a vote of no confidence instead of using the impeachment process. In a parliamentary system, the chief executive (usually the prime minister) serves at the pleasure of the legislature. If the legislature loses confidence in the chief executive, they can hold a vote of no confidence and potentially remove the chief executive from office. In the United States, the process to remove a chief executive (the president) involves impeachment by the House of Representatives and a trial in the Senate.
