Impeachment begins in the House and the house has sole power of Impeachment. That means the house has the power to convict a government official for impeachment. If the person decides what to do to the official, they could decide if they want to have a vote to Impeach. If the vote turns out as a yes then they can investigate charges for the official.

How Impeachment works

It goes like this starts with idea starts in the House then a Bill, then the Committee in the House then Quarantine vote over ½ 218 votes then senate committee takes over then sends it to Obama if he says yes it’s a law if he vetoes it goes to a vote.
