20. Describe the impeachment process. Who brings forth the charges? Who holds the trial? How many presidents have been found guilty in an impeachment trial?

Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body addresses charges against a government official.[1] National legislations differ regarding the definition and consequences of an impeachment. In many countries, for example those in Latin America, "impeachment" refers to a definitive destitution; a president in these jurisdictions is therefore only considered "impeached" when he or she has been definitely removed from office. In the United States, on the other hand, "impeachment" refers to a previous step, that of the authority's indictment; a U. S. president impeached by the House of Representatives remains in power while charges are addressed by the Senate, and may be found not guilty.
