What is Impeachment?
Impeachment is technically just an indictment, an accusation, made by the House of Representatives. Following impeachment, there is a trial in the Senate and perhaps a conviction. Conviction requires removal from office.Many people use the word "impeachment" to refer to the entire process. But technically it only refers to the formal accusation. Remember Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about having "sex" with Monica. He was then tried by the Senate but found not guilty and remained in office.
