Impeachement Hearings Explained

In the United States impeachment is where the President is put on trial for crimes alleged to have been committed. This process usually starts in the House of Representatives and if a simple majority of members vote for charges to be brought against the President, they will officially be impeached and their trial will begin in the Senate. There, if 2/3 of members must vote for it the President will be removed from office.

Impeachment hearings that are happening right now are happening because the party that opposes Trump’s Republicans, the Democrats control the House of Representatives. The reason why Trump is being impeached is due to allegations that he threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine, unless they gave him dirt on Joe Biden.

Now of course one could argue that one of the reasons why impeachment hearings occur is to be transparent about what is happening, to allow the public to see what charges are being brought against the president. However impeachment is all about public opinion- to get ⅔ of the Senate to vote to remove the President, Members of Trump’s party must vote to impeach him, and the only way that this is realistically going to happen, is if public opinion turns against Trump. By holding impeachment hearings this keeps Trump’s alleged crimes in the news, increasing the chances of public opinion turning against him. Of course on the flip side, this could have the effect of boring the public and making them question the legitimacy of the charges brought against Trump. So Impeachment hearings are a risk for the democrats.

Wikepedia's article on Impeachment in the United States:

Impeachment in the United States is an enumerated power of the legislature that allows formal charges to be brought against a civil officer of government for crimes alleged to have been committed. Most impeachments have concerned alleged crimes committed while in office, though there have been a few cases in which Congress has impeached and convicted officials partly for prior crimes.[1] The actual trial on such charges, and subsequent removal of an official upon conviction, is separate from the act of impeachment itself. Impeachment proceedings have been initiated against several presidents of the United States. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are the only two presidents to have been successfully impeached by the House of Representatives, and both were later acquitted by the Senate. The impeachment process against Richard Nixon was technically unsuccessful, as Nixon resigned his office before the vote of the full House for impeachment, but successful in the broader sense of leading to Nixon's departure. To date, no U.S. President has been removed from office by impeachment and conviction.

Impeachment is analogous to indictment in regular court proceedings; trial by the other house is analogous to the trial before judge and jury in regular courts. Typically, the lower house of the legislature impeaches the official and the upper house conducts the trial.

At the federal level, Article II of the United States Constitution states in Section 4 that "The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors." The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching, while the United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate. In Nixon v. United States (1993), the Supreme Court determined that the federal judiciary cannot review such proceedings.

Impeachment can also occur at the state level: state legislatures can impeach state officials, including governors, in accordance with their respective state constitutions.

At the Philadelphia Convention, Benjamin Franklin noted that, historically, the removal of "obnoxious" chief executives had been accomplished by assassination. Franklin suggested that a proceduralized mechanism for removal—impeachment—would be preferable.[2]
