The total process presented Impeachment Process for a US President
Notice within the process laid out for the Senate:
1. The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the Senate will result in a conviction.
2. The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.

Hope that helps clear things up.

That is what I thought. Obama can be impeached but not convicted so long as he owns 1/3 of the Senate.

Hope that helps clear things up.

The Senate has nothing to say about impeachment charges being brought in the House, period.

Hope that clears that up for you.
