Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "vote to impeach a government official".

Explanation:

Impeachment in the United States is a process at which charges against a government official could be brought by the lower house of a legislature. At the federal level, the House of Representatives is the one that holds this power. A member of the House of Representatives can request impeachment by his or her own initiative by presenting charges under oath or by asking for referral to the appropriate committee.
