How the impeachment process works.
• The impeachment process is where they accuse an official of something wrongdoing or misuse of power.
• The process begins by accusing the official. Then the senate will act as the jury and tries any impeachment cases. When the House of Representatives accuses an official of a crime, the senate decides whether or not the official is guilty for it. The supreme court acts as the judge then. After that 2/3 of the senators present must find the official guilty in order to remove him or her for the office.
