Impeachment is a constitutional process used to remove a sitting president or other federal officials from office for committing "high crimes and misdemeanors." It typically involves a two-step process: the House of Representatives votes to impeach, followed by a trial in the Senate to determine whether to convict and remove the official. Impeachment proceedings can occur at any time during a president's term, usually prompted by allegations of misconduct. Notable impeachments in U.S. history include those of Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton, with varying outcomes.
Trials take place in federal courts. Trials for impeachment are held in the US Senate.
They are voted in the House. The subsequent trial takes place in the Senate.

Impeachment.
No, a president cannot be impeached before taking office because impeachment is a process to remove a sitting president from office for misconduct or abuse of power.
The process is popularly called "impeachment", but this is a misnomer. "Impeachment" means indictment and refers only to the first part of the procedure, which takes place in the House of Representatives. The second part is called "conviction" and can happen only after the President has already been impeached. Conviction by the Senate automatically results in removal from office.
Nobody is taking his place.
Impeachment is up to House to define and then the Senate to convict. Any crime or strong suspicion of taking bribes or other improper conduct could trigger impeachment. Most justices have the sense to resign when facing strong evidence.
