But what if your job happens to be the most powerful position in the country - or the world? That's where impeachment comes in. But how does it work? Alex Gendler details the process of impeachment.

The truth, guys- TH-cam Algorithm reads current events
well if a lot of people search for a topic then youtube will recommend it and since the topic is really relevant for a lot of people, lots of people search for the topic. then the recommendation start recommending even more and now we are in a endless loop that will slow down when the topic isn't relevant anymore. SO the algorithm isn't really reading the current events it's just trying to stay relevant with our own intrest. or maybe that is what they want me to say hhmmmmmm
Truth! We're about to have the third ever impeachment of a sitting president!
@Jonathan Lumbreras Didn't say he would, just said he'd be impeached... meaning the House gets a simple majority to impeach. You'd know this if you'd bother to watch the video.
Jonathan Lumbreras We shall see.
Makes More sense
These guys really had fun with the animation and sound effects
The guys were in cloud nine
Lol
That goes for a lot of Ted Ed stuff
Who’s here because of all the trump drama going on?
Me
Yep
It isn’t drama but me 😂
Me, it's kinda fun to watch the two sides get triggered.
yes
I'm Taiwanese. Suddenly seeing 無罪 4:19 (Not Guilty) in an English video makes me smile a bit~
It's the same in japanese!
@@lenl8004 and it has the flag of the Japanese Empire.
Same in Chinese (I was thrilled too)
My great-great-grandma was called Winnie. Stay beautiful sweetcheeks.
@@joshdoyle182 Thank you for sharing your story! Your comment makes me smile 🥰
These views are about to skyrocket.
Yep, if the house does vote and its successful there's going to be a lot of angry Lefty's when they find out he's not immediately removed.
Edited to be more clear on what I meant.
@@GANTZ100pts *Rightys
@@lemonadine6032 No, lefties, because the Senate won't remove Trump.
Alpha Bulblax Nah, people watch TedEd to be fascinated by facts, stories, and neat animations. There is a reason why this video only have a few amount of views
Alpha Bulblax hopefully.
Can we all just stop for a moment and gives props to the animator Mark Phillips?
Good job

Anyone here for Trumps Second Impeachment?
The TH-cam algorithm has united us again for a common goal
Me
Time to explain to my best friend who lives in Norway on how it works again
YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA
Ayy you right
I have a feeling this would be recommended to everyone soon, given what played out at the Capitol.
These are the kinds of videos that need making; thoroughly informative, animated without being distracting, and paced well with a great style. Not to mention there wasn't a single note of political bias in it!

I actually found the animation distracting especially with the sounds
Google User - how is that interesting? I simply find it reasonable when there is a difficult subject discussed in the public to give them facts.
Google User it's because a lot of people say he needs to be impeached but not everyone understands how difficult it would be and why it wouldn't work.
That's what happens when you get trapped inside a giant peach right?
PowahSlap Entertainmint I notice how you comment on nearly every popular TH-cam channel. It's a strategy to gain subscribers, isn't it.
PowahSlap Entertainmint you like these videos too?
well it's actually kinda fuzzy.
PowahSlap Entertainmint James and his friends might be able to help you with that.
Yeah, they failed to mention when James Madison was impeached. They even turned the procedure into a popular children's book titled James and the Giant (Im)Peach(ment)
Tbh this is by far the best Ted ed animation classic I've seen yet. Thorough, informative, unbiased, and very engaging.
I laughed so hard at some of the animations that I drew attention from people sitting beside me 😂
The Richard Nixon animation at 4:26 is HILARIOUS!!!😂😂😂😂
Very interesting TH-cam just happened to recommend this 2 years later...
Probably because a lot of people are searching for stuff about impeachment
you think big tech is scheming against the president of united states? Thats impossible, you must be a conspiracy theorist.
@@whiteobama3032 lmao, you're actually clueless about how tech works. Obviously people are going to search for things on TH-cam based on current events hence why they will be recommended. This video literally has no political slant so you can get out with your conspiracy theories.
Hmmm...
You know....Trump and everything...
That's just Firing someone with extra steps
Wubba lubba dub dub
Woahhhhhh someone’s gonna get laid in collegeeeee
Yes that’s the point
he literally says it’s not in the beginning but ok
Gooodddaaaamn!
2:34 I can already tell someone had fun with the sounds and animation.
We all know why we’re here
Beacuse j don know what being impeached is?
Yea social studies hw am I right hahaha
Because of Obama?
Because I need to write a skit about impeachment and my entire group is just working on names for themselves.
YEP THAT IS MY REASON
Because I put my videos on auto play?
who's here in 2019 tryna learn after the impeachment probe announcement?? lol
I am, I am, I am. Procedural ambiguity aside, it appears to be much more complicated and far less certain to respond to and remedy a presidential "situation".
Lol so many people
Trump will remain in office. Mark my words.
Kinda alr know. I want to see if they're following the same steps
@@kibawhitefang7176 Not if the Senate is allowed to do a closed door, anonymous vote. 30 Republican senators agreed they'd consider impeachment if it was anonymous.
1:03 I like how one of the Founding Fathers was being a total creep and started petting one the other founders' shoulders, and the one he was doing it to started to notice. It's the little things like that that make me love this channel more and more
I replayed that 5 times just to make sure I was seeing right
I saw the Something also.
"How does impeachment work?"
It doesn't.
madman no one asked, libtard
@@IEatDirtForFun hes right . its very hard to actually impeach someone.. and when it close the just resign anyway
@@sixfoursoul2538 so if they resign, then they've just done the worst that the impeachment could have done anyway - and so it works. But it's difficult. S'posed to be.
@@CornerTalker did you even watch the video?
@@shockwave2227 The drift of your objection is obscured - did you read the comment that started this thread?
It’s sad that I have to come back here twice now.
0:13 Poor Kermit...
Wait is that even Kermit anyways?
Cyan Stickmin I think Kermit is roasting miss piggy...
imran muniem oh yeah right
Cyan Stickmin it's PEPE!! haha!
I think so, but he could also be a stand in for Pepe TBH.
Cyan Stickmin lmao
This is something people need to learn. With the current political climate, it doesn't matter how much you hate an official you can't impeach them until they do something actually illegal.
Well if Russia is true then he has. And currently it isn't looking exactly great for him.
Russian collusion. We'll have to wait for the investigation to end. Also obstruction of justice.
and he's done just that something illegal (trump)
michael chinn No, he has not. He hasn't done anything unconstitutional and the left has been revoked multiple times from their attempts of impeachments on that. Stop whining to the Supreme Court
1) Investigations take time
2) How is it a tool for the democrats? Robert Mueller is actually a registered republican. That shouldn't matter, as this investigation isn't political, but that certainly disproves the idea that he is the democrats' tool. Not to mention he wasn't appointed by democrats, he was appointed by the Justice Department in a republican administration. So I really don't see your point.
1:04
Bro who's the dude on the top-left, he has intentions
Lol
I think its Ben Franklin
"How Does Impeachment Work?" Apparently it doesn't.
What doesn't work?
and i OOP-
3:32 Hello!
DareToRS hi
Hello
who’s here after pelosi announced impeachment inquiry on trump
ryan liang, me, do they use the congress or the House of Representatives
Filippo the congress is the house of representatives and the senate combined
ryan liang I think the house votes first and finally the senate right??
@@user-mp4gz6xs3w The House votes on the initial hearings and brings charges (impeachment) then it goes to trial in the Senate (where 2/3 vote is needed to convict).
Chris E. Oh ok, thanks
Anyone here after Trump was impeached in 2019?
It just popped up in my feed but i was curious
@Arbeit Macht frei yes I know but it's still crazy, this is the third time it's happened ever.
Yeah
@Shivani2006 There's no treason, and the accusation of a crime is rather lame. Trump asked Ukraine to look into Joe Biden. Joe Biden's son has fishy a $50k/month job with a Ukranian oil company without any experience, education etc to have the job. Finding Biden involved in corruption would be good for the U.S., and good for Trump. If you see it good for the U.S., it looks like nothing. If you see Trump trying to take Biden down ahead of 2020, you might try to impeach him. That's it. Quite unbelievable that it's gone this far.
@@danielwinsor6018 wheter or not biden did something is irrelevant because he asked Ukraine for political blackmail on a potential competitor for the US election of 2020. So that should be enough for impeachment.
1:59 the fact that the white house got rotated just for that one arrow to represent the senate is top tier comedy
Fr Fr Fr
The 無罪 (muzai) bit killed me, especially with the classic Japanese flag as background.
Normally, Japan is notorious for its extremely high conviction rates, so the sight of a "not guilty" verdict in a trial is big news. So I find it odd that they would use _Japan_ as inspiration for that moment.
Bonus points for me, as an Ace Attorney fan.
When you're bored,
*"DON'T FEAR TED-ED IS HERE"*
I’m sure there are politicians who watch these TH-cam videos to figure out how our government works.
I wouldn't even count on that...they're too busy trying to cover up scandals with prostitutes
Future politicians
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Ben's face? 1:04
One of the best animations and sound effect... :))) Good work TedEd!
Wonder who comes to mind when watching this? 🤔
Sanjana .-. subscribe my channel blast from the testube
Sanjana .-. Richard Nixon
I dunno, the thought just trumps my mind
Hehehe...
Sanjana .-. Bill Clinton
This is great. Tremendous. No other video like it. The best video ever seen. Above adequate size. Flawless.
Who’s watching during the process of trumps impeachment ? 😂
Reynaldo Carpio me lmao
same
🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Reynaldo Carpio same i was confused about why there will be a trial to kick him out January when he's been impeached
Aa haha
Whoever animated and put this episode together needs to be put in charge of ALL other episodes
Thank you for explaining this even looking it up was confusing for me. But you managed to clear it up for me.
Great work. Who knew it would come in handy so soon?
Showed this to my kid this morning. We learned a lot today.
TED going passive aggressive I love it! But more importantly I learned. Thanks you all!
Animation is on point!
Great job TED-Ed!
1:40 THANK YOU! I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE! I LOVE U 😍
Excellent explanation. Thanks!
2:08
Dat lawyer anmation tho
10/10
I wonder where this idea came from
Laney AJ didn't you pay attention to the video? it came from our founding fathers
Magik arp did't you watch the video? it came from england
can anyone understand sarcasm? -.-
Laney AJ my comment wasn't referred to yours
Laney AJ Donald Trump
The Algorithm brought us together one year ago. And now, we have come home again.
I just learned so much from this video!!
Good learning video for my 9th grader, thanks for sharing this video.
“Individual Members of the House can introduce impeachment resolutions like
ordinary bills, or the House could initiate proceedings by passing a resolution authorizing an inquiry.” Pelosi has neither introduced a bill nor asked for a resolution authorizing an inquiry.
I refer to the video on Checks and balances. An inquiry does not need to be authorized or voted on. Heads of committee have full authority to proceed with an impeachment inquiry with or without the approval of the Speaker of the House. This is why you're seeing an impeachment inquiry take place without a vote on the house floor. Not to mention that over the past 2 years impeachment has been brought up many times, but alternative measures were pursued to avoid it until now.
Actually, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner explained how the last two Impeachments worked. Committees do not create agendas for the House to act upon. The House creates agendas for Committees to act upon.

Boyd Plankinton They formalized the inquiry today, shits boutta go down
Thank you youtube for recommending me to this video now of all times.
Palpatine: I AM THE SENATE!
not yet
Red lightsaber activated
It’s Treason Then...
DAMN nice work on the animations!!!!
US President: I’ve got the most powerful position in the world!
Impeachment: *Rips out a hole* Are you sure about that?
Yoy YTP he is true though,he has the most powerful status
Yoy YTP liberal
The country pretty much runs itself by congress. The president was originally just used as a figurehead, for ceremonial roles.
Robert Bonds actually i am
So... what have we learned?
This is an under-appreciated video. Is that Ben Franklin tickling another founding father at 1:02?
The checks and balances have been missing lately. Hopefully we can get back to equal support of all three.
I like the different head forms and colours, also the voice, from the character in the video.
Just realized Kermit was roasting Miss Piggy😂
oml bahaha
For those wondering what 4:19 said:
"Innocence"
papa sweats gonna bless you 🙏🍕💦
Thanks for making this easy to understand
i literally had to define Impeachment today in class and while i wasn't %100 accurate i think i was still accurate, too bad this video came after i needed it most. still great video, i love the channel
Absolutely no one:
TH-cam Algorithm after Ukraine Scandal:
Yezzir
The ”absolutely no one” meme doesn’t even apply here, obviously a lot of people have been searching for this topic on youtube lately.
Or all of America right now lol
Literally nobody:
"This is a good meme."
there was no scandal
Articles 1 & 2 have been voted yes on, now what?
Like what happens I still don't know
Nothing, it has to pass the senate where it is very likely to be shot down.
It was a power move to have the opening-quote of this video be from The Constitution.
This is an amazing video.. I'm actually leaning something
im leaning too
What are you leaning?
q to lean left
e to lean right
well it surely wasn't correct spelling
Anyone else notice the guys on the left at 1:02?
Jedi Q lol
Jedi Q 😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁 creepy, homesexuality.
0:56 BUTTPLUG
Excellent segment and I the animation is always great.
thanks for the explanation on this matter
0:12 isn’t that the terraria sound
Maybe Re-Logic and Ted-Ed just got it from the same third party.
Ted: "You were thinking it!"
Everyone else: "Yeah but you said it!"
I know that reference!
Thank you for this video
I finally understand
Who is here during the start of the second impeachment in 2021? 🙈
@All American Teen Yes... that's how you spell "innocent."
Most votes for convictions... ever. He got acquitted by his own party, and even THEY were divided on that! Thank the whips, I guess.
@All American Teen Whatever you say.
What is it you like about trump?
economy, taxes, policy, promises, racism, covid 19, etc
pick a topic and I'll disprove it.
Nice and informative video. Remember that the world's watching the practice of democracy in the US so please don't be harsh towards the effort for educating people about it ....
Does anyone else just binge these Ted Ed videos?
1:15 really love this orange president animation 😄
This is about to blow up. 💥
Welcome back boys
2:16 all I could think of was whack a mole...
jenny h same
I’m just curious about the next process.
This information is so true!
Who else came here after trump possibly being impeached ?
It's not going to happen unfortunately
I did!
@@david91lvb yeah
David Massawa whynt
@@Tommyisme they've been saying this ever since he was elected. It's not any different this time
Woah, I thought this video was made after the recent news.
Woah, the democratic party have been trying to impeach since President Trump was elected.
I appreciate all the hilarious sound effects put in this video.
I think you can explain the of conviction and acquittal and more
Give the animator a small loan of a million dollars because the animations were pure gold 🤣
4:45 was the most accurate depiction of the US government I've ever seen
I watched this video 2 years ago, and here I am again.
This video is relevant again. Thanks Ted Ed
0:10 Kermit killed Miss Piggy ;(
Who here because Donald Trump maybe be impeached for the second time 😂
Now he has been impeached for a second time😂😂😂
@@cameron6035 He hasn’t been impeached. His first impeachment attempt failed.
@@karimaljammal4221 👍🏻
@Maddie That whole trial was laughable
@@karimaljammal4221 he was impeached, just not removed from office. Impeachment doesn’t mean removal. It’s only one step in the process.
And I was thinking this video must have been uploaded seeing the recent impeachment news
4:20
Perfect timing, perfect moment
Trump getting impeachment and I got this recommended
Sooo....
Hes just locked in 2020
2:26 Donald Thumb
(Sorry it had to be done)
Cant wait for an update
ong without these animations I would not have been able to understand anything, especially when i get distracted easily. Aweeeesome
Aqui no Brasil sabemos como funciona..

The title of this should be "How Impeachment SHOULD Work."
I love this animation style. I kept replaying 0:44-0:50 😂
wow TED-Ed, nice *new* video!
