Articles of impeachment must be passed by?
The articles of impeachment must be passed by a majority of the House of Representatives. The Senate then tries the impeached person and votes on their conviction. If two-thirds of the Senate votes on the person's conviction, they are convicted. Normally, in these trials, the Vice Presidents presides. However, in a case of the President being tried, the Chief Justice resides over the trial. This is because it is hard for a Vice President not to be biased if the conviction of the President means he will become the new President.

Yes, a person can run for president after being impeached, as impeachment does not disqualify someone from seeking office. Impeachment is a political process that can lead to removal from office, but if a person is not convicted by the Senate, they remain eligible. However, if they are removed from office as a result of impeachment, they may be disqualified from holding any future office, depending on the terms set by the Senate during the impeachment process.
How is impeachment different from being convicted of a crime?
Impeachment is when a president is taken to court, but if they win the case, or the senate doesn't get a majority vote to convict him, he won't be removed from office. Conviction is removal, and impeachment is accusation.
