Congress
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
The House Judiciary Committee decides whether or not to proceed with impeachment. If they do...
The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee will propose a Resolution calling for the Judiciary Committee to begin a formal inquiry into the issue of impeachment.
The Full House (probably operating under special floor rules set by the House Rules Committee) will debate and vote on each Article of Impeachment.
Should any one of the Articles of Impeachment be approved by a simple majority vote, the President will be "impeached." However, being impeached is sort of like being indicted of a crime. There still has to be a trial, which is where the US Senate comes in.
The Articles of Impeachment are received from the House.
The Senate formulates rules and procedures for holding a trial.
A trial will be held. The President will be represented by his lawyers. A select group of House members will serve as "prosecutors." The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (currently John G. Roberts) will preside with all 100 Senators acting as the jury.
The Senate will meet in private session to debate a verdict.
The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the Senate will result in a conviction.
The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.
The Senate may also vote (by a simple majority) to prohibit the President from holding any public office in the future.

Can the US president fire the Speaker of the House of Representatives?
No the US president does not have the authority to do so. One of the hallmarks of the Federal system is that the three branches of government are independent. So the president (executive branch), Congress (legislative branch), and judges (judicial branch) basically have no power over one another. Instead, there's a system where each branch has some authority over each other branch. For example, Congress can impeach (fire) the president or a judge in extreme cases. And a president can veto Congress's legislation. Just to make it clear: the president isn't the boss of anyone in Congress, on the courts, or state officials, etc. General speaking, the big-name offices that the president is boss of are Vice-President (though the president can't fire the vice pres), Secretary of ______, and the military.

What checks and balances exist between the branch of government?
Each branch can override one and other about decisions the branch each apposestrongly. So that way one branch does not remain stronger than the other. Examples are: if the president vetoes a bill that congress wants passed, congress can have override the president, and have a vote within congress to pass the bill. If the Judicial Branch believes the Legislative Branch creates a law that is unconstitutional they can override the law. If the Legislative Branch believes a judge or a case in the Judicial Branch is unconstitutional they can fire the judge or override the case.this is a question in my 8th grade textbook. i remember the answer by thinking about how people tell you to "CHECK YOSELF!! so its like the branches are telling each other to "CHECK themselves"yah its kinda weird but thats how i remember it lol
How do you get elected to be part of the judicial branch?
Most members of the judicial branch are not elected. In the federal judicial system, the judges are appointed by the President of the United States and approved by Congress. A majority of states share this system, except the judge would be appointed by the governor.

How is judicial power different from legislative power and executive power?
Well, those "powers" are branches of the government in America. Each branch has the power to perform checks and balances on the other branches. The judicial branch has the power to declare laws made by the executive branch (the president) and the legislative branch (congress) unconstitutional. But in turn the legislative and executive branches both have their own checks to use against the judicial branch.
Does the congress vote on a supreme court judge?
