In the United States, the House of Representatives may initiate impeachment proceedings against the President, Vice-President, Federal judges (including Supreme Court justices) and other "civil officers," such as cabinet members. Congress has chosen to interpret "civil officers" as anyone the President appoints.

In 1799, Congress determined Senators and Representatives cannot be impeached.
