What Are The Steps In An Impeachment Process?

Step 1
The U. S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee studies and makes sure that there is enough proof to have impeachment hearings, then they present all of their findings to the full House of Representatives.

Step 2
The U. S. House of Representatives holds hearings and listens to testimonies from witnesses, if most of the members vote for impeachment then it moves to the U. S. Senate.

 Step 3
The United States Constitution in Article 1
Section 3-clauses 6 and 7 gave the Senate the Sole Power to try all impeachments. When the President of the United States is tried, the
Chief Justice presides.

 Step 4
After all witnesses have been heard, the
Senate will vote. The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote from the 100 member Senate, meaning 67   Senators will have to find the President guilty to remove him from office.
