Impeachment

If you mean after the impeachment of the President, the answer is "The Executive" branch. The are two stages of "impeachment". The first is "impeachment", whereby the House of Representatives, by 2/3 majority, calls on the president to be tried before the Senate. The senate then tries the president. The President heads the executive branch. If he is impeached, and convicted by the Senate, he is immediately removed from office and the Vice President assumes presidential powers. If the President is impeached, but not convicted, he is not removed from office and continues as President.
Impeachment proceedings tend to paralyze the government . Neither Congress not the President can do much of anything else while they are going on. They are likely to polarize the country. They create uncertainty in international relations and in financial circles.
Impeachment. Only the House of Representatives can impeach the president, and the impeachment is just the bringing of charges against the president. The Senate and the Senate alone then decides whether or not the president is guilty. Clinton was impeached, but was not found guilty by the Senate.
