The House of Representatives must first decide if the President, Vice President, or a civil officer has committed an impeachable offense. Then the members of the house must pass the articles of impeachment, which are the formal allegations against the impeachable official. The articles of impeachment must pass the House with a majority vote. This is the end of the impeachment process, because at this time the official has been impeached, that is articles of impeachment have been served against them. The next process involves a trial in the Senate. The Senate tries the accused according the the articles of impeachment and a 2/3 majority is needed to convict. If convicted, the accused is removed from office and, if the Senate sees fit, barred from holding other government positions (elected or otherwise). The removal of a government official from office is NOT the same as impeachment; impeachment is one step in the process of removing an official from office. For instance, Andrew Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, but he was acquitted by the Senate so he was not removed from office.
