Yes. If the President is being tried for impeachment in the Senate, the Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) presides over his (or her) trial. For all other impeachment trials, a committee presides over the trial, but the President of the Senate (US Vice-President), or someone he or she designates, makes decision about points of procedure.
