Impeachment is a process where a President, a Vice President, or other Civil Officers could be removed from office. The Constitution outlines how the impeachment process works. There have been two presidents that have been impeached, but no president has been removed from office.
The impeachment process starts in the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives must decide if there is enough evidence against the government official to have a trial held. If the House of Representatives believes there is enough evidence, a trial will be held in the U.S. Senate.
The U.S. Senate will hold the trial to determine if the elected official will be removed from office. In order to be removed from office, two-thirds of the U.S. Senate must vote to remove the government official. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are the only presidents that have ever been impeached.
