If a president is impeached by the House of Representatives, the Senate has the responsibility of conducting a trial to determine whether the president should be removed from office. The Senate acts as the jury in this trial, and two-thirds majority vote is required to convict and remove the president. If convicted, the president would be removed from office and the vice president would assume the presidency.
Impeachment by the House is the first step. This requires the Senate to hold a trial, with 2/3 majority required to convict. Conviction removes the President from office.
