Vicente Jason J. Vicente is a recent graduate of the Boston University School of Law and is presently a law clerk at the Massachusetts Superior Court in Boston. Executive Summary As the scandal surrounding the Clinton administration grows, the possibility of impeachment looms ever larger. It is an appropriate time, therefore, to examine the function and history of the impeachment provisions of the American Constitution. The Constitution divides the impeachment power between the two houses of Congress. The House of Representatives has the "sole Power of Impeachment" while the Senate has the "sole Power to try all impeachments." That division of responsibility guards against potential abuse of the impeachment power. Only the House can initiate the impeachment process. But the Senate determines if the charges are appropriate and if the evidence warrants conviction. Over the course of American history, the House of Representatives has impeached 15 individuals, including a president, 12 judges, a senator, and a Cabinet member. The Senate has convicted 7 of the 15.

Leonardo da Vinci The Impeachment A remarkable event happened on 8. April 1476. At this time it was usual to put anonymous accusations in a wooden box (called tamburo), which was put up in front of the Palazzo Vecchio (Picture). On 8. April Leonardo and four others were accused. The anonymous person accused Leonardo to have a homosexual affair with Jacopo Saltarelli, who was a model. The procedure ended for all participants with an acquittal of the charge.

Author and Source Congress's power of impeachment is the ultimate check on executive and judicial authority. The Constitution grants Congress the power to remove from office the president, vice president, "and all civil Officers of the United States," upon impeachment for and conviction of "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." The House of Representatives is the prosecutor in impeachment proceedings. The Senate chamber is the courtroom, and the Senate–with the chief justice of the United States presiding–is judge and jury. The penalty for conviction is removal from office and, if senators so decide, disqualification from holding government office in the future. There is no appeal of a conviction. Impeachment is a rarely used power. Only two presidents–Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Richard Nixon in 1974–have faced the serious possibility of being removed from office through impeachment. Johnson survived the impeachment attempt and completed his term of office; Nixon avoided the possibility of removal through impeachment by becoming the first president in U.S. history to resign from office. From 1789 through 1993, only sixteen government officials were impeached; seven of these, all lower court judges, were convicted. Constitutional Origins The impeachment process dates from fourteenth-century England, when the fledgling Parliament wanted to gain authority over the king's advisers. The monarch was considered incapable of wrongdoing and was therefore immune, but ministers and judges who were believed guilty of breaking the law or of carrying out unpopular orders of the king could be impeached by Parliament. By the late eighteenth century, however, ministers had become accountable to Parliament, so that parliamentary impeachments were considered unnecessary.

Impeachment Political investigations began in February 1973 when the Senate established a Committee to investigate the Watergate scandal. The public hearings of the Committee were sensational, including the evidence of John Dean, Nixon's former White House Counsel. The Committee also uncovered the existence of the secret White House tape recordings, sparking a major political and legal battle between the Congress and the President. On February 6, 1974, the House of Representatives passed House Resolution 803 by 410-4 to authorise the Judiciary Committee to consider impeachment proceedings against Nixon. This is the text of HR803: "RESOLVED, That the Committee on the Judiciary acting as a whole or by any subcommittee thereof appointed by the Chairman for the purposes hereof and in accordance with the Rules of the Committee, is authorized and directed to investigate fully and completely whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its constitutional power to impeach Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States of America. The committee shall report to the House of Representatives such resolutions, articles of impeachment, or other recommendations as it deems proper."

Full Coverage Trial Guide: Frequently Asked Questions By Ruth Marcus Washington Post Staff Writer Updated January 16, 1999 What is the overall game plan? The Senate trial of President Clinton is being guided by a century-old set of rules, a compendium of precedents amassed during the previous 14 Senate impeachment trials and the seat-of-the-pants judgment of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and the 100 jurors themselves. The senators are doing what only one Senate has done before: sitting in judgment on the president of the United States. As they follow a process sketched in broad terms in the Constitution and refined periodically since then, their actions will inevitably determine not only Clinton's fate but also chart a course for future impeachment proceedings. The Constitution provides the general outlines: The chief justice presides over the trial; a two-thirds majority is required to convict for "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors"; conviction is followed by removal from office and, if the Senate chooses, disqualification from any future office of "honor, trust or profit under the United States."

Encyclopedia impeachment impeachment, Hastings was among the last of the English cases. In the United States impeachment of public officials is provided for in the federal government and in most states. In federal matters the U.S. Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power to impeach civil officers of the United States, including the President and Vice President, but not including members of Congress. Impeachments are tried by the Senate, with the concurrence of two thirds of the members present needed for conviction. The sole penalties on conviction are removal from office and disqualification from holding other federal office; however, the convicted party is liable to subsequent criminal trial and punishment for the same offense. There have been 16 impeachments tried by the Senate and seven convictions. Three of the best-known cases, which did not result in conviction, were those of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase , President Andrew Johnson , and President Bill Clinton (see Lewinsky scandal ). In 1974 the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives voted to bring impeachment charges against President Richard Nixon (see Watergate affair ), but Nixon resigned before the House took action.

Alternatives to Impeachment: What May Congress Do? Committee on Federal Legislation These events raise two fundamental questions. First, what conduct merits impeachment of a sitting President? Second, may Congress, if it chooses, respond to allegations of Presidential misconduct with some less drastic alternative to impeachment and, upon conviction, removal from office? The Association’s view as to the first issue is set forth in a Watergate-era report of this Committee, " The Law of Presidential Impeachment ." In this report, we address the latter question. The Committee on Federal Legislation concludes that Congress may, indeed, constitutionally respond to alleged Presidential misconduct by means other than the impeachment process. Either House of Congress, or both, may pass a resolution condemning or disapproving presidential conduct. (This report will adopt the term "censure" to describe such resolutions generically, although Congress need not use that term.) We believe Congress may censure Presidential misconduct irrespective of whether such conduct would, in fact, merit impeachment. Such censure, by itself, of course carries only the moral weight of expressed congressional condemnation, however heavy that weight may be.

Committee Reports THE LAW OF PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT By THE COMMITTEE ON FEDERAL LEGISLATION For only the second time in the history of our nation, Congress and public are giving serious attention to the possibility of impeachment and removal of a President. The Executive Committee of this Association, among others, urged that Congress proceed to "investigate whether or not impeachment proceedings should be instituted" against President Nixon.* Yet there is little general knowledge of the substance and procedure of this seldom used constitutional authority. In the interest of informing the Bar and the public, and without taking any position on the evidentiary matters involved in the current impeachment controversy, we have undertaken to prepare this brief analysis of the applicable law. The report expresses our views on the controverted legal issues concerning proper grounds for impeachment and the availability of judicial review of the proceedings in Congress. (We shall use the term "impeachment" primarily in the technical sense, to refer to the action by the House of Representatives stating charges against a public official, rather than in the common parlance, by which the term refers to the entire process of impeachment, trial and removal.)

Tour of Federal Government Original Thirteen Colonies Declaration of Independence Declaration, Part II ... Awards Impeachment When a new president is elected to office, he or she takes an oath that lists many heavy responsibilities. Abuse of power or failure to uphold these responsibilities cannot be tolerated. The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the right to impeach the president. Impeachment means that a charge of misconduct is filed against the president. A majority of the members of the House must vote for these charges in order to impeach the president. After the charges of misconduct are filed, the Senate has the power to try impeachment cases like a court. Two-thirds of the senators must vote for conviction. The president may be removed from office and never allowed to hold a government position again if he is found guilty. Our 17th president, Andrew Johnson, was impeached while in office. Thirty-five senators found him guilty just one vote short of the two-thirds vote necessary to convict him.
