London
The capital city of England and the United Kingdom lies on the River Thames, which winds through the city. Its many bridges are a famous sight. The oldest is London Bridge, originally made of wood but rebuilt in stone in 1217. The most distinctive is Tower Bridge, which was designated to blend in with the nearby Tower of London.

Impeachment- is the accusation of the president or other high- ranking officials, that can’t be dismissed in an ordinary course for violation of the law. According to the constitution of the United States all federal officials can get removed from office if they are found guilty of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors in a course of impeachment.
Usually the investigation is taken by the Legal Committee that produces the recommendation to the House of Representatives. Once the House has voted in favor of impeachment, it then selects members to present the case before the Senate.
The impeachment decision itself is not enough to get the official dismissed, in order to do this, the Senate should pass the verdict that it finds him guilty. In this case the Senate plays the role of a court. If we are dealing with the president or vise- president, it is the Chief Justice of the United States who presides the impeachment proceedings, in all other cases the Vice President or a President pro tempore of the Senate presides. The accused has the right to be defended. The judgment of the Senate is made by roll-call-vote. The verdict of guilty results in the removal from office but not the disqualification henceforward. For the latter, a special decision is required that can be gotten by a simple majority. It happened only once through the history of the United States that the House of Representatives started an impeachment, it was against President Andrew Johnson. The decision was taken by 128 votes against 47. It is well known that the president pro tempore of the Senate at that time, who was going to become president in case of Johnson’s removal, was so sure that the President would be found guilty that he started to choose his Cabinet for the future Senate, without waiting for the final decision. But in order to find him guilty the accusation lacked one vote: there were 35 votes for and 19 – against. Due to this one vote Johnson was kept in his post.
The last impeachment trial took place in 1936 when the federal judge Ritter was dismissed, although he was not disqualified from federal service.
