Why does the chief justice-not the president of the senate-preside over the impeachment trial of a president?

Such is what the rules of the Senate say. The president of the Senate is the vice-president who would take the president's office if he were convicted. He would have a conflict of interest, to be sure. Also, it is good to have an experienced judge rule over such an important trial.

What branch of government is responsible for the executive branch after impeachment?

If you mean after the impeachment of the President, the answer is "The Executive" branch. The are two stages of "impeachment". The first is "impeachment", whereby the House of Representatives, by 2/3 majority, calls on the president to be tried before the Senate. The senate then tries the president. The President heads the executive branch. If he is impeached, and convicted by the Senate, he is immediately removed from office and the Vice President assumes presidential powers. If the President is impeached, but not convicted, he is not removed from office and continues as President.

Does a president still get paid after impeachment?

Yes. To impeach only means "to be accused". President Clinton was one of a two presidents (the other was Andrew Johnson) who was impeached and he was still paid. We have yet to have president be removed from office by a trial. A President is "impeached" by the house and then tried by the senate. They have to be convicted by 2/3 majority of the senate in order to be removed from office. It would take a second conviction to remove the lifetime pension that all presidents of the United States hold. To date this has never occurred.
