It is popularly called impeachment, but actually, impeachment ,which is done by the house of Representatives, is only the first step. If the House passes a bill of impeachment , listing charges against the President, the US Senate must hold a trial based on these charges. After hearing the evidence and debating it, the Senate votes to convict or acquit. A 2/3 majority of those voting is required to convict and remove the President from office.
