After the House passed a motion to impeach a federal officer, the Senate conducts a trial based on the charges in the impeachment motion. The Senate serves as the jury and 2/3 of them must vote for conviction in order to remove the official from office.

An impeached member is typically removed from office through a trial process. The impeachment process initiates in the legislative body, such as the House of Representatives or a similar body, which brings forth charges against the member. A trial is then held in the legislative body or a separate tribunal, and if found guilty, the member is removed from office. The exact process and requirements for removal may vary depending on the country or jurisdiction.
