Who has the power to impeach the President of the United States?

  1. Supreme Court.

  2. House of Representatives.

  3. Senate.

  4. Cabinet members.

The correct answer is: House of Representatives.

The House of Representatives has the power to impeach the President of the United States. This means that they have the authority to bring charges against the President for any alleged wrongdoing. Once the House impeaches the President, the Senate then holds a trial to determine if the President should be removed from office. The Supreme Court and Cabinet members do not have the power to impeach the President. It is ultimately up to the House of Representatives to initiate the impeachment process.
