Impeachment therefore was not meant to dispense justice in the manner of ordinary courts. Indeed, under both the American and Philippine constitutions, when someone is convicted by an impeachment court, the penalty does not go beyond removal from office and disqualification to hold public office.
Impeachment is when a president is taken to court, but if they win  the case, or the senate doesn't get a majority vote to convict him,  he won't be removed from office. Con â¦ viction is removal, and  impeachment is accusation.
