- Articles of impeachment
The articles of impeachment are the set of charges drafted against a public official to initiate the

United States , the articles of impeachment are drafted by the House of Representatives for cases involving federal officials. Once drafted, asupermajority of theUnited States Senate is required to convict based on the articles. ----External links
