Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body formally levels charges against a high official of Government. Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; it is only a formal statement of charges, akin to an indictment in criminal law,
and is thus only the first step towards removal. Once an individual is
impeached, he or she must then face the possibility of conviction via
legislative vote, which then entails the removal of the individual from
office.
Because impeachment and conviction of officials involves an
overturning of the normal Constitutional procedures by which individuals
achieve high office (election, ratification, or appointment) and
because it generally requires a supermajority, it is usually only reserved for those deemed to have committed serious abuses of their office. In the United States, for example, impeachment at the Federal level is reserved for those who may have committed "high crimes and misdemeanors". Several Federal officials, including two Presidents (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, who were both acquitted) and several judges, have been impeached over the course of US history. US President Richard Nixon resigned before Watergate scandal impeachment proceedings could begin.
