(CNN) - Donald Trump faces a process for a political trial, a procedure that leads to a trial to determine whether a public official is guilty of abuse of power or other crimes. An effective conviction in that process leads to dismissal.

These are other presidents around the world who in recent years have faced similar processes and have ended up dismissed.

South Korea- Park Geun-hye

Park Geun-hye, dismissed president of South Korea.

Park Geun-hye's legal problems arose from her close relationship with Choi Soon-sil, a religious leader and spiritual mentor who supposedly encouraged her to pressure companies to make large donations to church-affiliated foundations. Park is the first president of South Korea to be accused.

Three weeks after she was removed from office, Park was arrested and charged with multiple crimes.

December 9, 2016 - The National Assembly of South Korea votes to dismiss Park.

March 10, 2017 - Park is dismissed from office. The decision leads to demonstrations, as Park supporters protest his dismissal while opposition groups applaud the opinion of the court. The conviction strips the immunity granted to presidents in South Korea, clearing the way for criminal charges.

May 23, 2017 - His trial begins in the Seoul Central District Court.

April 6, 2018 - Park is sentenced to 24 years in prison after being found guilty of 16 of the 18 charges she faced, related to a case of mass traffic in influences that removed her from office last year. In addition to the prison sentence, he also receives a fine of US $ 17 million.
