Impeachment begins in the House and the house has sole power of Impeachment. That means the house has the power to convict a government official for impeachment. If the person decides what to do to the official, they could decide if they want to have a vote to Impeach. If the vote turns out as a yes then they can investigate charges for the official.
How Impeachment works
