The House of Representatives impeaches (brings charges against) the President. The Senate acts as the jury. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate when it is hearing Presidential impeachment charges brought by the House.
Only the House of Representatives is involved in bringing and voting on articles of impeachment. The vote is a simple majority vote. (After impeachment by the House of Representatives, two thirds of the Senate is required to obtain a conviction of the President of the U.S.),

who were.
Impeachment is a check on the executive branch by the legislative branch.
