Office of Budget and Management (OMB): Part of the Executive Office, OMB helps the President to create the national budget and ensures that agency actions line up monetarily with the President's policies. Part of OMB's mission is to improve the management of executive agencies and policies so that efficiency is maximized. This office is highly branched and the scope of its influence increases its importance. Upon inauguration, most presidents make reorganizing the executive branch a priority. This requires close work with OMB, and although the majority of presidents abandon this as a hopeless cause, it is still an endeavor that holds significance to both the incumbent and the public.

For a formal impeachment, there needs to be an accusation from the House of Representatives and a trial and conviction from the Senate.
