Answer:
The correct answer is A.
-The House votes to impeach the president.
-Two-thirds of the Senate votes to convict the president.
-The president is removed from office.
Explanation:
Article One of the Constitution of the United States guarantees that high officials can be impeached by mandate of the House of Representatives because of serious crimes, with the exception of members of Congress. Once the House opens the process, it is the Senate that is in charge of carrying out the trial. To condemn the accused, two thirds of the votes of the senators are necessary. This eventual punishment consists of the dismissal of the accused and his disqualification from holding other public positions.
In the United States, of fourteen dismissal processes initiated at the federal level, only four ended with a condemnatory resolution. Only two presidents have been tried through this procedure, Bill Clinton (1998-1999) and Andrew Johnson (1868), and both were acquitted. Richard Nixon interrupted the process by resigning his post in 1974 after the approval of his impeachment.
