Congress may impeach, or formally charge, a federal official who commits a crime or otherwise acts improperly. The House of Representatives votes to impeach, and the Senate then sits as a court to determine guilt or innocence. The House of Representatives has impeached three presidents: Andrew Johnson (1868), Bill Clinton (1998), and Donald Trump (2019). The Senate acquitted all three.
