They don't have the same system as the U.S. They don't have a "bicameral" legislative branch (i.e., no "House of Representatives" nor "Senate" ), just one big "National Assembly".

They don't do "Impeachment hearings" in one chamber and then switch to another chamber to do a "trial" - it's all heard and voted on in the one Assembly and the final decider is their "Constitutional Court", which is their highest court.

So there really is no comparison other than they are one of the few, like the U.S., that doesn't use a Parliamentary system of government.
