Impeachment is a unique process by which a legislative body or other legally constituted tribunal initiates charges against a public official for misconduct and/or inability to perform functions efficiently.

Depending on the laws of a country, it may be a purely political process where the accused is not held to account before an impartial and independent body, or one involving both politicians and an independent tribunal.
