The Senate acts as the jury; they hold the trial and vote on guilt. The House of Representatives votes to impeach and the Senate decides whether they are guilty.
To take over the president if he dies.
The process of removing a president from office is known as impeachment, which involves two key steps: impeachment by the House of Representatives and a trial in the Senate. The House has the authority to initiate impeachment proceedings and must pass articles of impeachment by a simple majority vote, effectively charging the president with misconduct. Once impeached, the case is forwarded to the Senate, which conducts a trial to determine whether to convict and remove the president; a two-thirds majority is required for conviction in the Senate. If convicted, the president is removed from office; if acquitted, the president remains in office.

Every President since his time in office.
The Senate's role in impeachment is to conduct a trial after the House of Representatives has voted to impeach a federal official, such as the President. Senators serve as jurors, hearing evidence and arguments from both the House managers and the defense. A two-thirds majority vote is required for conviction and removal from office. If convicted, the Senate may also vote on whether to bar the individual from holding future office.
