The Federal House of Representatives has the sole power to impeach or bring charges against government officials (except members of Congress.) A majority vote is needed in the House to Impeach. The Senate has the sole power to try the impeachment case. A two-thirds vote of the senators present is needed for conviction. When a president is tried, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate.
The House of Representatives has sole authority to bring Articles of Impeachment (like a grand jury indictment) against the President and other government officials. If the House votes in favor of impeachment, the case proceeds to trial in the Senate. No one can be removed from office by impeachment (the first step in the process) alone.
Impeachment
Congress can only conduct impeachment proceedings against the President. The House of Representatives votes whether to impeach (bring charges against), and the Senate conducts a trial to determine whether the President should be removed from office. This is purely a political process, and carries no penalty other than removal. Congress cannot bring criminal or civil charges against the President or put him (or her) on trial in any other sense of the word. A US President may be tried in the courts for personal wrongdoing under the same conditions as any other citizen.
The House of Representatives is responsible for bringing charges of treason or bribery against a president through an impeachment vote. If a majority of the House votes to impeach the president, the process moves to the Senate for a trial to determine whether the president should be removed from office.
