If you mean "why does the Constitution grant them in particular that power," the answer is along the lines of "why not?"To achieve balance of power, the Framers felt there must be a way for the legislature to remove the president from office. They decided to give the power to bring charges to the House while the actual trial would be conducted by the Senate.
