Rule of Impeachment The US House of Representative passes a bill of Impeachment which lists the charges against the President. The passage of such a bill, which requires only a simple majority to pass, requires the US Senate to hold a trial, based on these charges. After the charges are presented and debated, the Senates votes on conviction, a two-thirds majority needed for conviction. If the President is convicted, he is removed from office. Otherwise, the trial is over that is the end of the matter.
