What is the process called when the House may choose to accuse federal officials, including the president, of misconduct?

Conviction
Impeachment
Indictment
Prosecution

The correct answer is: Impeachment

The process of accusing and charging federal officials, including the president, of misconduct is called impeachment. This is typically initiated by the House of Representatives and then goes to trial in the Senate. Option A, conviction, refers to the outcome of the impeachment trial and does not accurately describe the initial process. Option C, indictment, is the formal accusation that begins a criminal case, not a political process like impeachment. Option D, prosecution, refers to the legal proceedings of a criminal case, not the political proceedings of impeachment.
