Answer:
C. House of Representatives
Explanation:
An impeachment process designates a figure of law in some countries such as the US, through which charges can be brought against a senior government official. Impeachment refers to the accusation or challenge and is usually the beginning of a process of revocation of the mandate. Thus, although Bill Clinton was the object of impeachment, there was no revocation of his mandate since he was exonerated by the Senate. Once an agent or governor is accused, the parliament or congress must approve the process of political trial and later take charge of the trial of the accused (usually in the upper house). If an individual has been the object of a removal process, he or she must face the possibility of being condemned by a vote of the legislative body, which causes his or her removal and disqualification for similar functions. Other translations into Spanish are motion of censure, impeachment, challenge, destitution, residency, impediment, deposition or public accusation.
Article One of the Constitution of the United States guarantees that high officials can be prosecuted by mandate of the House of Representatives because of serious crimes, with the exception of members of the legislature (without imposing criminal sanctions). As in the British model, once the Congress opens the process, it is the Senate that is in charge of carrying out the trial. To condemn the accused, two thirds of the votes of the senators are necessary. This eventual punishment consists of the dismissal of the accused and his disqualification from holding other public positions.
