Impeachment is the formal process by which a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress, investigates and potentially removes a sitting official, typically a president or other high-ranking government official, from office due to misconduct. This process usually involves bringing charges or articles of impeachment against the official, which can include offenses such as treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The impeachment process varies by jurisdiction but generally requires a majority vote in the lower house of the legislature to impeach, followed by a trial in the upper house, where a two-thirds majority is often needed for conviction and removal from office. Impeachment serves as a mechanism for holding government officials accountable for their actions while in office, ensuring that they adhere to legal and ethical standards.
