The "advice and consent" powers (such as the power to approve treaties) were therefore granted to the Senate alone. The House was granted its own exclusive powers: the power to initiate revenue bills, impeach officials, and elect the President in electoral college deadlocks. The Senate, however, can propose amendments to spending bills, try impeached officials, and choose the Vice President in an electoral college deadlock.

The House has the power to impeach, or bring charges against an office. The Senate has the power to try the impeachment brought about by the house. This is spelled out in Article 1 Section 3 and Article 2 Section 4 of the US Constitution. Hopes this helps.

I thought their was more to it than the Senate vote so I checked
2/3 Senate majority needed to ratify Senate judiciary committee charges----- Impeachment unlikely
Current Senate:
Republican
49
Democrat
51
If you are curious---At the Federal level, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching the President, Vice President and all other civil officers of the United States. Officials can be impeached for: "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate.

someone would be impeached in the house and tried in the senate.
Clinton was impeached in the House, but the Senate threw the case out, so he was not tried or convicted.

No, with the aid of fact those liberal judges who're inflicting each and all of the topics heavily isn't deemed in charge through a "liberal Congress" which majority we've seated this recent day. we desire "tests and balances" this is why it somewhat isn't any longer a mind-blowing thought to choose for all one social gathering in Congress and the Senate.

Technically both houses of Congress must do it.

If that is true, it would be the Senate - it has more power than the Congress.
Peace!
