The House of Representatives has sole authority to bring Articles of Impeachment (like a grand jury indictment) against the President and other government officials. If the House votes in favor of impeachment, the case proceeds to trial in the Senate. No one can be removed from office by impeachment (the first step in the process) alone.

Impeachment is a type of legal proceeding. A dictator is not going to allow a court or legislative body to get him out of office, he'd just have them shot.
If you are talking about impeachment, the Senate tries the president and can convict him of impeachment charges passed by the House. If the president actually committed a crime, he could be indicted, tried and convicted by the court system like any other citizen.
The primary punishment for a successful impeachment is removal from office. Additionally, individuals who have been impeached may be barred from holding any future public office, depending on the terms set by the legislative body that conducted the impeachment. Impeachment itself does not impose criminal penalties; however, the individual may still face legal consequences in separate criminal proceedings.
