Impeachment
The Federal House of Representatives has the sole power to impeach or bring charges against government officials (except members of Congress.) A majority vote is needed in the House to Impeach. The Senate has the sole power to try the impeachment case. A two-thirds vote of the senators present is needed for conviction. When a president is tried, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate.

The branch of government that can impeach federal officials is the legislative branch, specifically the United States Congress. The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment, which is the formal process of bringing charges against a federal official. If a federal official is impeached by the House of Representatives, the Senate then holds a trial to determine whether to convict and remove the official from office.
