The impeachment process is one of the most serious and solemn of government proceedings. It can result in the trial and conviction of a president of the United Statesand immediate removal from offi ce. Despite all the drama, intrigue, and gravity that surround this remarkable judicial process, however, impeachment is poorly understood by most Americans. Many people believe that the term impeached implies that an offi cial has been convicted of the charges brought against him or her. Others believe that a leader who has been impeached has been kicked out of offi ce after having been found guilty. Still others assume that only a president can be impeached. Many Americans are convinced that President Richard Nixon was impeached but that President Bill Clinton was not. None of these beliefs is accurate. Clearly, there is great confusion about just what impeachment is and what “being impeached” means. [download]
