Answer 1

The correct description of the process of impeachment and trial for removal is:

A majority of the House of Representatives must vote in favor for impeachment and move to a trial before the Senate.

Here’s a brief overview of the process:

1. Impeachment by the House: The House of Representatives has the authority to impeach (bring charges against) a federal official, including the President. This requires a simple majority vote in the House.

2. Trial in the Senate: Once the House votes to impeach, the case is sent to the Senate, which holds a trial. The Senate then votes on whether to remove the official. A two-thirds majority is required in the Senate to convict and remove the official from office.

So, the first statement is accurate regarding the impeachment process.
