Answer:

the action of calling into question the integrity or validity of something. a charge of treason or another crime against the state. a charge of misconduct made against the holder of a public office.

Step-by-step explanation:

Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official. Impeachment does not in itself remove the official definitively from office; it is similar to an indictment in criminal law, and thus it is essentially the statement of charges against the official.
