Impeachment is a constitutional process in some democratic countries, including the United States, where a government official, typically President or another high-ranking official, is accused of committing serious offenses, such as treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. It is a formal process initiated by the legislative branch of government to investigate and potentially remove the accused official from office. Impeachment does not necessarily mean the removal of the official from office, but it serves as a legal mechanism to hold them accountable for their alleged actions. If found guilty by the investigating body, the official may face removal from office, legal penalties, or other consequences as determined by the specific laws and procedures of each country.
