Strictly speaking, “impeachment” means “accusation” or “charge.” The House of Representatives has, under the Constitution, the “sole Power of Impeachment”—that is to say, the power to bring charges of the commission of one or more impeachable offenses. These charges are conventionally called “Articles of Impeachment.” The House “impeaches” by simple majority vote of those present.
