impeachment hearings

Impeachment hearings are formal processes where Congress investigates whether a government official, like the President, has committed misconduct or violated their duties. During these hearings, lawmakers examine evidence and hear testimony to determine if there are grounds for impeachment. If the evidence suggests serious wrongdoing, the House of Representatives may draft articles of impeachment, which are charges against the official. The process then moves to the Senate for a trial to decide whether to remove the official from office. Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal trial, intended to hold officials accountable and protect the integrity of government.
