Impeachment requires only a simple majority in the House. The Senate then holds a trial and serves as the jury and here it takes a 2/3 vote of those Senators present and voting to convict and remove the president from office.

∙ 7y agoThe Senate does not impeach a president. To impeach is to accuse, not convict. Here is how it goes:
A House of Representatives committee advises whether they think a President should be impeached. If the answer is 'yes', then the suggestion to impeach is sent to another committee for consideration. If the committee agrees, then the question is sent to the full House. A simple majority vote approves or disapproves impeachment. This has occurred several times since the U.S. was founded.
If impeachment is approved, a request is sent to the Senate. The Senate may hold a trial of the President as to whether to convict her of whatever she is accused of. A two-thirds majority is required to find the President guilty. This has never happened.
Remember this: The House accuses and the Senate convicts.
