ironically they r right
The correct answer is A. By a simple majority, the House of Representatives must vote for the impeachment of a federal official. The Senate then holds a trial.
To arrive at this answer, we can briefly explain the process of impeachment:
1. Impeachment begins in the House of Representatives: Impeachment is a political process that starts in the House of Representatives. Any member of the House can introduce articles of impeachment against a federal official (such as the President, Vice President, or other government officials).
2. Voting on impeachment in the House: After the articles of impeachment are introduced, the House of Representatives votes on whether to impeach the federal official. A simple majority vote (more than 50%) is required for the impeachment to proceed.
3. Impeachment moves to the Senate: If the House votes in favor of impeachment, the matter is then sent to the Senate. The Senate holds a trial to further evaluate the charges against the federal official.
4. Senate trial and vote: During the Senate trial, both the accused official and the House of Representatives present their case. The Senate acts as the "jury" in this trial. A two-thirds majority vote of the Senate (a supermajority, or more than 66.67%) is required to convict and remove the federal official from office.
5. After the Senate trial: If the Senate votes to convict the federal official by the necessary two-thirds majority, the official is removed from office. If not, the official remains in office.
Therefore, option A accurately describes the process of impeachment correctly.
