Sentence:  The <WSD>impeachment</WSD> process provides a mechanism for removal of the President, Vice President, and other federal civil officers found to have engaged in "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The Constitution places the responsibility and authority to determine whether to impeach and to draft articles of <WSD>impeachment</WSD> in the hands of the House of Representatives. A number of means have been used to trigger the House's investigation, but the ultimate decision in all instances as to whether <WSD>impeachment</WSD> is appropriate rests with the House. Should the House vote to impeach and vote articles of <WSD>impeachment</WSD> specifying the grounds upon which <WSD>impeachment</WSD> is based, the matter is then presented to the Senate for trial. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  The act of impeaching or charging a public official with misconduct, especially if serious, often with the aim of having the official dismissed from office.
