Where does it say house of representatives has the power to impeach the president in the constitution?
Article One Section Two of the Constitution gives the House the sole power of Impeachment, Article Three gives the Senate the sole authority to try all impeachments.
In other words, the House indicts, the Senate convicts or absolves the indictee. This is used for all federally elected or appointed officials.
Article Four reads:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
It is the last two that is confusing, as there is no definitive answer as to what constitutes a high crime or a high misdemeanor.
There have been 16 Impeachments sent to the Senate for trial, out of that, 7 were acquitted, 7 convicted, 1 resigned from office, and 1 was expelled from congress before the impeachment process finished. All 7 convictions resulted in removal from office, and all 7 were Judges, go figure.
