The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the right to impeach the president. Impeachment means that a charge of misconduct is filed against the president. A majority of the members of the House must vote for these charges in order to impeach the president. After the charges of misconduct are filed, the Senate has the power to try impeachment cases like a court. Two-thirds of the senators must vote for conviction. The president may be removed from office and never allowed to hold a government position again if he is found guilty.

The House of Repâ¦resentatives is the only  body that can impeach federal officials. If a federal official is  impeached, a trial by the Senate follows. It is important not to  confuse impeachment with conviction. Impeachment is only a formal  accusation; it is only the first step in removing a public official  from his office.
