Question

What branch has the power to impeach federal officials?

Answer 1

The House of Representatives has the power to impeach federal officials. Impeachment is the process by which the House brings charges against a federal official, including the President, for misconduct. If a majority of the House approves the articles of impeachment, the official is impeached, and the case is then sent to the Senate for trial. The Senate has the authority to conduct the trial and decide whether to remove the official from office.
