Article II, Section 4 of the federal Constitution states that civil officers of the US may be impeached for commission of “Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Determining whether sufficient grounds exist for impeachment is the prerogative of the House of Representatives, while the actual trial subsequent to impeachment is entrusted to the Senate. Relevant questions relate to whether the alleged criminal actions were knowingly and deliberately committed and the political judgment as to whether impeachment – or the failure to impeach – will serve the best interests of the nation.
