Answer:

The correct answer is choice D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct answer because the house of representatives are responsible for impeaching the president, but the president can only be removed by the senate, who acts like a court in the impeachment process...

(The first answer was correct, Credit to them:D)

"d. The President can be impeached by the house and be removed by the senate" is the best option from the list, since the Founding Fathers wanted this to be a democratic process.
