GPT 3.5
In the United States, the impeachment process is a two-step process. The House of Representatives initiates impeachment proceedings by voting on articles of impeachment. If a simple majority of the House votes in favor of impeachment, the president is considered impeached.
The vote in the House of Representatives is conducted by all members of the House, from both the Democratic and Republican parties. Ultimately, it is up to individual representatives to decide whether they vote for or against impeachment.
Following the impeachment by the House, the Senate then holds a trial to determine whether to convict and remove the president. In the Senate trial, a two-thirds majority vote is required to convict and remove the president from office. Senators from both parties participate in this vote, and again, individual senators make the decision to vote for or against conviction.
Therefore, the votes for impeachment come from the elected members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The specific representatives and senators who vote for impeachment may vary depending on the circumstances and political climate at the time of impeachment.
