What house of congress determines if there is enough evidence to impeach a president?
During an impeachment, the House of Representatives debates the case for impeachment and if there is enough evidence, passes a Bill of Impeachment. After the president is impeached, then a trial will be held in the Congress. The House presents the evidence supporting impeachment, and the Senate acts as a jury. If the Senate convicts, then the President would be removed from office. Two presidents have been impeached; Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Neither were convicted by the Senate or removed from office.
What role does the supreme court play in impeachment trials?
