Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Congress has the power to remove the president. It is a two-step process.
2. The House may charge, or impeach, the president for high crimes and misdemeanors. A majority vote in the House is required to impeach.
3. The Senate then may try the president to determine guilt or innocence. A two-thirds vote is required in the Senate to convict and remove the president from office.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Explain that members of Congress cannot accept any gifts, travel, event admissions, or meals from lobbyists, nor may lobbyists offer them.
2. Members cannot accept money for speeches, events, or articles, although they may accept travel and expenses for events attended in an official capacity.
3. The Stock Act outlawed insider trading by members, who sometimes hear about changes in the economy or federal actions before the public does.
