Impeachment originates in the House of Representatives by member who feel that the President is acting unlawfully, corruptly, imcompetently, and so forth.
The House also votes on impeachment. After there is a successful impeachment, the Senate then debates the issue, and can either decide either on conviction and removal from office, or to not convict.

SteveImpeachment became part of the US Constitution as a manner by which to remove Federal officeholders.The process originated in fourteenth century England as a means that could be used to indict high level officers for a variety of offensives and thus call them trial by the House of Lords.
This idea was borrowed by the American framers of the Constitution.

What body can try impeachments of the president of the US?
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.
