[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 75675511, member: 9588"] Just to be clear, from the Constitution (Art. 1, Section 2): "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment." Once the House votes, the President is impeached. The Senate then holds a trial: "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present." (Art. 1, Section 3) So now that the President has been impeached, again, the Senate holds the trial. Think of it like a criminal trial -- first the suspect is indicted and then a trial is held to find if he is guilty. While Impeachment is not exactly like an indictment, it is similar in that the person is indicted or impeached and afterward a trial is held. Just like in a trial, a "Not Guilty" verdict does not mean the person was not indicted -- in the same way, the President will still be "impeached" even if not convicted on the impeachment charges.
