Is it true that impeachment hearings of the president can only start in the Senate?
It starts there and it ends there. Impeachment is the part of the process that is done by the House. Think of impeachment as officially calling into question some behavior of a sitting president. If impeached by the House, the president then goes through an impeachment trial by the Senate. Even if the Senate chooses to acquit, the president has still officially been impeached. There is a rough parallel with civil law. You can be indicted of a crime, and then be found not guilty at trial. But you can never say that you were not indicted.

Who is the president of the senate and under what circumstances might he play a role in voting on legislation?
The Vice President of the United States is the President of the U. S. Senate. While the Vice President's main purpose is to be prepared in the event that the unthinkable happens to the President, the U. S. Constitution has provided something for him/her to do in the mean time beside twiddling their thumbs. Not only are they required to preside over the Senate, but in the case a Senate vote ends up tied, which is always a possibility with two Senators per state guaranteeing that the total number of Senators will always be even, they cast the deciding vote.
Who selects the speaker of the house and president of the senate in Congress.?
