What Is Impeachment? (And How Does It Work?)

What's up guys This is will wit with PragerU There are a ton of people out there right now talking about impeachment But most people don't even know what it means Let's go over it Impeachment is the act of removing public officials from office for serious misconduct. First The House of Representatives will pass a resolution for articles of impeachment if they feel like the public official should be impeached Second it goes to the Senate. The Senate can choose whether or not they want to hold a trial They don't have to but they can if they want to. If they vote in favor of impeaching the public official or President then that person is removed from office We've had two presidents who are both impeached by the house But neither of them were removed from office And on another note in case you didn't know if the President does get impeached the person who then becomes the President is the Vice President Impeachment is not about personal punishment If you don't like someone's policies or someone's mean that doesn't mean that you can just impeach them Impeachment is for serious misconduct in their role. Impeachment was not created as a partisan political weapon But as a tool to punish serious misconduct so the next time you hear people talking about impeachment and we have to get this person out of office remind them that Impeachment is not some partisan political weapon, but a tool to get people out of office for serious misconduct Thank you guys so much for watching.
