mettre en accusation

CONT: Pour renverser le président, les députés n'ont qu'un seul moyen : le «mettre en accusation», c'est-à-dire entamer la procédure de destitution appelée «impeachment».

CONT: When an irate citizen demands that a disfavored public official be impeached, the citizen clearly intends for the official to be removed from office. This popular use of ""impeach"" as a synonym of ""throw out"" (even if by due process) does not accord with the legal meaning of the word. When a public official is impeached, that is, formally accused of wrongdoing, this is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to the official's removal from office. In strict usage, an official is impeached (accused), tried, and then convicted or acquitted.
