You’re asking which chamber does what in an impeachment — using Andrew Johnson as the example:
- House of Representatives: brings (files and votes on) articles of impeachment. In Andrew Johnson’s case the House approved 11 articles of impeachment in February 1868, so he was impeached by the House.
- Senate: holds the trial, votes on conviction and removal (presided over by the Chief Justice for a presidential trial). Conviction requires the concurrence of two‑thirds of the senators present. In Johnson’s case the Senate tried him in March–May 1868 and voted to acquit; the decisive votes on the articles were 35 guilty to 19 not guilty (one vote short of the two‑thirds needed), so Johnson was not removed from office.
