This compiler's power to face every charge (7)
I believe the answer is:
impeach
'charge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'this compiler's power to face every' is the wordplay.
'this compiler's' becomes 'im' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to face' indicates taking the first letters.
'every' becomes 'each' ('each' can be a synonym of 'every').
The initial letter of 'power' is 'p'.
'im'+'p'+'each'='IMPEACH'
(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Criticise" , "call into question" , "In America, charge with misconduct - say President" , "Charge with treason, etc" , "Bring a charge against" .)
