The Legal Process of Petitioning for Impeachment Against an Active US President Works As Follows
Through impeachment the Congress exercises the power to create charges against federal officials up to including the presidency while seeking their dismissal. The typical procedure works as follows:
House Of Representatives:
An investigation by the House Judiciary Committee or one of their assigned special committees starts the process by gathering evidence for suspected wrongdoings.
When enough evidence supports the case the committee prepares Articles of Impeachment that describe particular misconduct charges against the official.
House Vote:
To approve an article the chamber must reach more than half of its currently present members.
Upon legislative approval the official becomes impeached officially yet stays in office until the Senate trial runs its course.
Senate Trial:
The Senate organization performs a legal trial process using Senators who function as the jury panel.
The House appoints managers who perform the role of prosecutors during the presentation of official charges.
The defense lawyers of the official deliver their case to the court.
Supreme Court Chief Justice becomes the trial moderator when impeaching a president.
Senate Vote:
The Senate completes its process of impeachment by voting separately on each presented article.
The Senate needs approval from sixty-seven members out of one hundred to reach a conviction.
The official will lose their present office and also becomes ineligible to reclaim any future federal position.
Presidents Andrew Johnson along with Bill Clinton and Donald Trump (twice) received impeachment votes from the House before them. The absence of required two-thirds Senate majority prevented any official from being removed from their position.
