    Impeachment is saying and "proving" someone is guilty of a thing.

    The problem is, it's entirely separate from the consequences… You can be impeached and also suffer nothing except for the knowledge that you are publicly guilty of what you did.

      Impeachment is saying and "proving" someone is guilty of a thing.

      It's more like an indictment of sorts. An investigation was done and it seems that a crime has been committed. It begins a trial in the Senate that determines whether it warrants punishment.
