'decisive' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'impeach president ultimately turning' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
'turning' indicates an anagram.
The final letter of 'president' is 't'.
'impeach'+'t'='impeacht'
'impeacht' anagrammed gives 'EMPHATIC'.
