What is the purpose of impeaching someone?
The purpose of impeaching a person in public office such as the US President or a member of the US Supreme Court is to place the alleged offender on trial. If found guilty, the person is removed from office. Once removed from office the person may be subject to prosecution for any violations of the law. The examples used are high level positions. Throughout the USA there are various impeachable offices. Lower lever Federal judges comes to mind as an example of a lower level impeachment process.

Vote for impeachment is made where?
In the U.S. Constitution, impeachment is like being accused; impeachment is the job of the House of Representatives. Once the person has been impeached - accused of a crime - then the case goes to trial. The House carries out the trial, and the Senate acts as the jury. Impeachment is very rare; only a few judges have ever been removed from office, and while two Presidents have been impeached, neither was removed from office. Removal from office is the ONLY penalty that the Senate can impose. If removed from office through impeachment, the person can never again hold any office of ANY kind for the government of the United States.
How can a president be lawfully removed?
If he is found to not be fit to stay in office, the cabinet can vote to have him removed. Then the vice president will become president. If the president can state in writing that he is fit to continue in office than he may continue. The cabinet then has 48 hours to present a case against the president, to have him removed. The reason that this is in the constitution is for medical reasons. This may not be entirely right, but that is how I understand it. Another way in my opinion would be if the president were to break his oath of office. (Which our president has done several times)
