The US Constitution leaves this open to interpretation, referring to "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" as reasons for impeachment and removal.
*For other officials, the term has been generally interpreted to include such crimes as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order of a superior.

If you mean after the impeachment of the President, the answer is "The Executive" branch. The are two stages of "impeachment". The first is "impeachment", whereby the House of Representatives, by 2/3 majority, calls on the president to be tried before the Senate. The senate then tries the president.
