Yes, the House does hold exclusive power to bring about impeachment charges. The Senate in turn has the power to act as the court in these matters.
The Senate is responsible for trying impeachment cases. The House of Representatives will bring the impeachment charge. A two-thirds majority vote is needed to impeach an official.
The Senate decides the case. But by the time the Senate even gets the case, the impeachment has already happened. The impeachment by the House is a little like an indictment in civil law. When the House impeaches someone, they decide that there is enough evidence to bring the case to the Senate for a decision.
Each state has its own unique place in Senate history. Reminders that we are a union of states surround us as we walk the halls of the Senate office buildings and the Capitol, where state flags, seals, and cherished objects of art from the individual states are proudly displayed. As senators perform their constitutionally appointed duties, they bring to the Senate a part of their state's culture and contribute to their state's history.
Impeachment PowersIt is true that the power to bring impeachment charges lies with the House of Representatives.
Wilson ordered the democrats to vote " nay" for a version of the treaty requiring a joint resolution from the House and the senate to join the League of Nations. :)
Before Woodrow Wilson was elected to the US presidency he believed that the Senate should play an intimate role in helping the US president to handle treaties. His views were clear and strong. After he became the US president however, he changed his mind. As president Wilson decided to look at his past statements as perhaps being too one sided on the issue of Senate cooperation. When WW 1 ended he took on his role as a negotiator of the Versailles Treaty with no contact with the US Senate. Wilson would find out that the Senate would make all his labors to bring nothing as the Senate by a wide margin voted against the Versailles Treaty.
The Senate rejected the Treaty in March 19, 1920 President Wilson did sign the Treaty of Versailles, but he had foolishly refused to bring Representatives and Senators, particularly Henry Cabot Lodge, the majority leader in the house. This may have biased the legislature against the treaty, but the main reason the U.S. did not agree to the Treaty of Versaille was not that they thought it was too harsh, it was that the League of Nations had become part of the treaty. The U.S. did not want its foreign policy decided by another body, so they rejected the treaty. There is a certain irony that the League of Nations was the addition that the legislatures disliked, as it was the only part of Wilson's 14 points to make it onto the Treaty.
American President, Woodrow Wilson, believed that the Treaty was too harsh. The 'Fourteen Points' he had drawn up (which were to be the foundations for a fair and just Treaty) were almost entirely omitted from the final Treaty, and Wilson believed that Germany - which had recently undergone revolution - needed to gain stability and establish its new government.

is was a good one because President Wilson believed he could bring peace and justice with his fourteen Point plan.
