What is impeachment?
It is a constitutional process of removing public servants from o ffice as an assurance against abusive o fficials in the
country.
It serves as protection for the state and not to accomplish criminal punishment.
The object of impeachment is solely to determine whether or not the offi cial is still worthy of the trust conferred upon him/her.
It is NOT the determination of criminal guilt or innocence as in a criminal case.
