How Impeachment Process Applies to U.S. Cabinet Secretaries
The U.S. Constitution allows Congress to impeach and remove federal officials, including Cabinet secretaries, under Article II, Section 4 for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The impeachment process for Cabinet secretaries mirrors that of the president, beginning in the House with investigations and articles of impeachment, followed by a Senate trial. Unlike presidents, the Constitution does not specify who presides over Cabinet officials' trials. Removal from office requires conviction by the Senate.
