Which governmentbody had the solepower to try an official who is impeached?
I think you're discussing Presidential impeachment, answer is both houses of Congress. House of Representatives actually 'impeaches' the President (essentially charging him or her) and the Senate holds the trial and if convicted, the President is removed from office. The Vice President can also be impeached as well as officers of the United States. Technically, the term impeachment is mis-used, but it has been mis-used so often, it essentially refers to the involuntary removal of the president.

How do you consider Clinton impeached when he was not removed from office?
Impeachment just means that the House of Representatives thought that Clinton had committed a crime, and that he should be put on trial. It's basically the same as an indictment. Once a president has been impeached by the House, the Senate holds a special court trial to try to convict the president of whatever crime he has been impeached for. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court acts as the judge in the trial. Clinton did indeed go through a trial but he was acquitted when the Senate failed to get enough votes to convict- it needs to be a two-thirds majority.
