The Senate is the body that has the power to convict the President of charges brought against him in the impeachment process by a majority vote of 2/3. However, it is the House of Representatives that has the power to impeach the President. This information is located in Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution.
the Senate did not convict him.
It is the House of Representatives that has the power to impeach a president. His or her trial is then held in the United States Senate.
A two-thirds majority of the Senate is required to convict the President from office. A simple majority in the House suffices to impeach and force the Senate to hold a trial.
The convict was sentenced to ten years in prison for robbery.
Neither really has "more" power. They have differentpowers. Neither of them can really "overrule" the other, because generally they have to agree for anything to happen. For example, only the House can impeach an elected official, but only the Senate can convict someone who has been impeached. The House and Senate must agree in order to remove someone from office; if the House impeaches them but the Senate doesn't convict them, then nothing happens, and if the House doesn't impeach them in the first place then the Senate can't convict them so again nothing happens.There are certain things that are reserved to either the House or Senate, but again, it's not really a question of "more power".That said: Senators serve (normally) for six years, while Representatives serve for only two. There are far fewer Senators than Representatives, so each Senator's vote has more "weight" than each Representative's does. The Senate is considered the "Upper" chamber of the Legislative branch. For all these reasons, it's not entirely wrong to say the Senate has more power ... but it's not entirely right, either.
The Senate must have a two-thirds vote, or at least 67 senators, to convict the president of impeachment, and remove him from office. The same margin is required to decide if the president should be impeached in the House of Representatives.

A two-thirds majority of the Senators voting is required to convict the President from office. (A simple majority in the House suffices to impeach and force the Senate to hold a trial.)
two-thirds of the members in the Senate
If a President is thought to be guilty of a crime, the House of Representatives can bring charges, and the Senate votes to acquit or convict. So both houses of Congress are involved in this process.
