Can articles of impeachment be repealed?
<p>Suppose the House of Representatives of the United States impeaches a federal officer such as the president or a federal judge, etc. Can they repeal that act before the Senate tries the case?</p>

<p>It's never happened so there is really no definitive answer. There are plausible arguments both ways.</p>

<p>Many impeachment cases have been dismissed in the Senate before a trial is complete, or before a Senate trial is commenced, because a resignation has made the process moot.</p>
