The Legislative Branch, specifically the The House of Representatives has the power to impeach a federal government official, including the President. "impeach" means to pass a bill which lists the charges against the official involved which they believe warrant his removal from office. If a simple majority of the House votes to impeach, the Senate holds a trial, then votes on whether to convict or acquit (find not guilty). A two-thirds majority is required to convict.

The Legislative Branch.
The House of Representatives charges the President (or other public official) with "articles of impeachment," or specific allegations of wrong-doing, then votes to decide whether there is sufficient cause to try him in the Senate. If a simple majority agrees, the President is impeached.
Impeachment is similar to indictment in the criminal court system; the purpose is to decide whether there should be a trial on the charges.
If the President is impeached, he is then tried in the Senate, with a team from the House of Representatives, called "Managers," acting as the prosecution. If a two-thirds majority rules against the President, he is removed from office. There are no other penalties accompanying the process.
Presidential impeachments are always presided over by the Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court).
According to the Constitution, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment. In Article1 Section 2 Clause 5, it says, "The House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers; and shall have the sole power of impeachment."
