A watered-down version of the impeachment process:

- Somebody (Representative or not) presents a case to the House of Representatives that an official should be impeached

- The HoR votes (with a simple majority holding the decision) whether to impeach the official

- The Senators hear the case against the official, with the Senate acting as a courtroom, the Chief Justice presiding over the whole thing, and Representatives acting as prosecutors

- Senators vote whether or not to convict the official, with a 2/3 majority needed for a conviction

...To answer your question simply, they are the ones who actually impeach the official.
