The Senate holds the (impeachment) removal trial after the House of Representatives has impeached the president. The Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) only presides over the Senate impeachment trial of a US President; otherwise, the Presiding Officer of the Senate chooses a group of Senators to form an "Impeachment Trial Committee" to act as presiding judges. Certain members of the House of Representatives chosen by it act as prosecutors.
