When a president is impeached, he is:
-
Accused of doing something wrong
-
Removed from office
-
Accused of doing something wrong, then removed from office
Correct Answer
A. Accused of doing something wrongExplanation
When a president is impeached, he is accused of doing something wrong. Impeachment is a formal process in which charges are brought against a high-ranking government official, such as a president, for alleged misconduct. It is similar to an indictment in a criminal trial. However, impeachment itself does not result in the removal from office. It is the subsequent trial and conviction by the Senate that may lead to the president being removed from office. Therefore, the correct answer is that when a president is impeached, he is accused of doing something wrong.Rate this question:
