What does impeachment mean to senate?

Impeachment, in the context of the Senate, refers to the process by which the Senate conducts a trial for a federal official who has been impeached by the House of Representatives. The Senate determines whether to convict and remove the official from office, requiring a two-thirds majority vote for conviction. This process is a constitutional mechanism for holding officials accountable for misconduct while in office. The Senate's role is to serve as the jury in these trials, ensuring a check on the powers of the executive and judicial branches.
