In an impeachment process, the trial is conducted by the Senate. The Chief Justice of the United States presides over the trial if the impeachment involves the President. Senators act as jurors, hearing evidence and arguments from both sides, and ultimately voting on whether to convict or acquit the official being impeached. A two-thirds majority is required for conviction.
