The Senate conducts trials for impeachment cases against federal officials, including the President, Vice President, and other civil officers. When the House of Representatives impeaches an official, the Senate holds a trial to determine whether to convict and remove the official from office. A two-thirds majority vote is required in the Senate for conviction. The Senate's role is primarily judicial in these cases, focusing on the evidence presented and the legal standards of impeachment.
