Yes they can and they are the only ones who can impeach a president. You must realize, of course, that impeachment does not remove the President from office- what is does is require the Senate to hold a trial based on the impeachment charges and only if the Senate. by a two-thirds vote. finds the president guilty, is he removed from office.

∙ 7y agoYes they can be removed...but no, not by impeachment.
Removal of a sitting US senator is by expulsion, and results from an investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee. If the committee finds sufficient evidence of illegality by a senator, it can vote for expulsion. It would then be taken up by the Senate as a whole, and require a 2/3 majority of the members present and voting.

∙ 12y agoNo- if the House impeaches a president, the trial is held by the US Senate which also serves as the jury and requires a 2/3 majority to convict.
