1. **State the problem:** We need to find the measure of an angle that is twice the measure of its complement.
2. **Recall the definition:** Two angles are complementary if their measures add up to 90 degrees.
3. **Set variables:** Let the angle be $x$ degrees. Its complement is then $90 - x$ degrees.
4. **Write the equation:** Since the angle is twice its complement, we have:
$$x = 2(90 - x)$$
5. **Solve the equation:**
$$x = 180 - 2x$$
6. **Add $2x$ to both sides:**
$$x + 2x = 180$$
$$3x = 180$$
7. **Divide both sides by 3:**
$$\frac{\cancel{3}x}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{180}{3}$$
$$x = 60$$
8. **Answer:** The angle measures $60$ degrees.
9. **Check:** Its complement is $90 - 60 = 30$ degrees, and $60$ is indeed twice $30$.
