Yes and no. First, to be impeached does NOT mean to be removed. Also, not all elected officials can be impeached, for example the president, VP and federal judges CAN be impeached. If an elected official is impeached, it means he/she is formally charged with one or more crimes. The US House of Representatives impeaches with a majority vote. The impeached official must now stand trial in the US Senate. The 100 Senators act as the jury and the VP, as President of the Senate, acts as the judge, unless the person on trial is the president or himself/herself. In this case the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court acts as the judge. A 2/3 vote of the Senate is needed to convict the accused and remove him/her from office.

The House of Representatives conducts Impeachment proceedings. If the President were impeached by them (has happened 2 times) then the President would be tried by the Senate.
