sod1umchlor1de6년 이하Yes, this is not an impeachment yet; this is an impeachment inquiry. As seen in the chart in the article, an impeachment inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process. The House Judiciary Committee must pass a simple majority for the vote to go to the members of the House. If the vote passes the House, then the President is said to be impeached but not removed from office. If the vote passes the Senate, the President is convicted of the crime and removed from office.

soccerlover106년 이하does anyone know what a whistleblower is?- sod1umchlor1de6년 이하A whistleblower is a person who gives out information on a certain individual or organization anonymously (or in some cases, publicly). In simpler terms, a person tells the government and/or public about the illegal activities of another person or group. The Whistleblower Protection Act prevents harassment of whistleblowers in the United States. Edward Snowden leaked NSA information to the public in 2013; thus, he is a whistleblower.
