impeachment

• only the legislative branch can start an impeachment.
• the house of representatives decides if an official, like the president, has committed a crime while in office.
• if the house believes the official is guilty, they \impeach\ them, which formally accuses them of a crime.

choose the correct answer:
who holds a trial after a person is impeached in the house?
options:
the president
the senate
the oval office

Explanation:

In the U.S. impeachment process, the House of Representatives initiates impeachment, and the Senate holds the trial to determine if the impeached official should be removed from office. The president does not hold the trial, and the Oval Office is a location, not a body that conducts trials.

Answer:

B. the Senate (assuming the options are labeled as A. the president, B. the Senate, C. the Oval Office)
