        In the United States,the process of impeachment-a process by which a legislative body can remove public officials from office-begins if a majority of members of the House of representatives vote to authorize the House Judiciary Committee to conduct an inguiry.After conducting hearings and examining evidence of alleged wrongdoing,the committee drafts articles of impeachment for the House of Representatives to vote later.If a majority of the House of  Representatives votes tto approve at least  one article of impeachment,the case is referred to the Senate.

        The presiding officer for the Senate trial-either the vice president or the chief justice of the Supreme Court-administers an oath to the senators.The oath obliges them to act impartially as required of jurors and judges in all court proceedings.The Senate convenes to hear the appoited members of the House of Representatives,who make the case for impeachment.In the two presidential impeachment cases that have gone to a trial-those involving Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton-the House of Representatives appointed representatives from the Judiciary Committee to present the case for inpeachment to the Senate.In turn,the accused official and his or her representatives are allowed time to refute the charges in oral arguments to the assembled senators.Then,the Senate can call witnesses who may support or disprove the charges.The proceedings can be terminated at any time without a determination of guilt or innocence if a majority of senators vote to end the trial.After all of the evidence is heard and individual senators have made arguments for or against removing the official,a vote is held on each of the articles of impeachment.If two-thirds of the Senate votes to convict the official on any article of impeachment,he or she is removed from office.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
