presidential impeachment.

Congress has the constitutional power of impeaching federal officials, including the United States President.

When federal officials commit a crime or act in an incorrect way the House of Representatives can initiate an impeachment process.

The impeachment process is the official mechanism to remove the President of the United States, the vice president or other government officials that are suspected of having committed any high crime, treason, or misconduct. If the House of Representatives approves by sole majority articles of impeachment, the matter is presented to the Senate. The Constitution provides the Senate with the sole power to try an impeachment process.
