Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution states:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
House: draws up and votes on Articles of Impeachment...votes...if yes, goes to the Senate.
Senate: with the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court present, conducts a trial and votes whether guilty or not, with 2/3 needed to remove from office.
