Question

What is impeachment of a president?
a. When the Senate accuses the president of a crime.
b. When the House removes a president from office.
c. When the House accuses a president of a crime.
d. When the Senate removes a president from office.

Answer 1

The answer is C. When the House accuses a president of a crime. In the US, impeachment proceedings begin with the House of Representatives. A member or non-member of the House must commence the proceedings with a list of charges against the president. The trial is then judged by the Senate. The Senate has the power to convict or acquit a president. Conviction results in a removal from office.
