Who Conducts the Trial
The Chief Justice of the United States presides over presidential impeachment trials, while senators act as jurors and vote on conviction.
How the Process Works
The House of Representatives votes to impeach, and the case then moves to the Senate for trial. For more details on the process, see the official U.S. Senate overview at Senate impeachment process.
