Impeachable is used to describe an offense that could get a public official impeached formally accused of misconduct. Describing an offense as impeachable means it could result in impeachment. The U.S. Constitution cites treason and bribery as impeachable offenses, along with other “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors are all examples of impeachable offense by an elected official.
