Any U.S. Representative, and only a U.S. Representative, may introduce articles of impeachment regarding any federal official, including the President, who is suspected to have committed bribery, treason, a high crime (a felony (?)) or a misdemeanor. If the House passes the articles of impeachment against the President, a trial is held in the Senate, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding (the Chief Justice presides only when the President is the subject of the impeachment). At the end of the trial the Senate votes "guilty" or "not guilty". If at least two thirds of the Senators vote "guilty", the President is immediately removed from office and the Vice President becomes President. If less than two thirds of the Senate votes guilty, he is acquitted.
If the House believes that a sitting President is guilty of treason and a few other crimes, they can vote to Impeach the President. That means the President is charged with committing the crime.
Then, the Senate "holds court", and either convicts or exonerates the President. Conviction has never occurred in America, and most likely will not in the future.
What does the senate do when the house of representatives think the president is guilty
The House impeaches the President, but remember, an impeachment is just an indictment; the President is tried by the Senate. Two Presidents have been impeached but survived their trials.
They write up the list of charges and present it to the U.S. Senate.
They send the case to the U.S. Senate.

I believe the president does, im not so sure?!
They can vote for the Presiden't impeachment.
No, despite the fact that many historians believe that the framers of the Constitution intended or expected the President to be chosen by the House of Representatives most of the time, it hasn't happened since 1824.
With today's politicians...They still bow to the power of stupidity!
None. Two presidents have been impeached but neither was found guilty by the Senate after impeachment by the House of Representatives.
The senate holds all impeachment trials. If two thirds of the senate finds him guilty then the president will be removed from office. Only the House can impeach the President, not the entire Congress.
No, the vice president does not serve as a member of the House of Representatives. The vice president's role is to preside over the Senate and to cast a vote in case of a tie. The House of Representatives is a separate legislative body with its own members.
The U. S. Senate has to find him/her guilty of the charge(s) brought by the U. S. House of Representatives.
The Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representatives. The President of the Senate (who is also the Vice President) is the leader of the Senate.
The president John Quincy Adams served in the house of representatives after his term as president. He was president from 1825 to 1829 and served in the house from 1831 to 1848 for the state of Massachusetts.
