Question

Which numbered pair of phrases best completes this diagram of the presidential impeachment process?

Answer 1

1. The house votes to impeach the president.
2. Two-thirds of the senate votes to convict the president.
3. The president is removed from office.

Answer 2

The right answer is letter D.

Once the request for impeachment has been proven in the plenary of the house, the request is passed on to the Senate, which is responsible for the judgment itself.

Two-thirds of the votes are required for the opening of the impeachment process to be recommended for the Senate (abstentions and absences are votes against the opening of the process).

After that, the president can be removed.
