Answer:
t is the process by which a legislative body
levels charges against a government official. Impeachment
does not in itself remove the official definitively from
office; it is similar to an indictment in criminal law , and thus
it is essentially the statement of charges against the
official. In some countries, the impeached official is
provisionally removed, while in others, they remain in office
during the trial. An impeached official must face the
possibility of conviction — in many jurisdictions, by another
legislative vote — and a judgment that convicts the official
on the articles of impeachment generally entails the
official's definitive removal from office.
