The Implied Powers of Congress

Impeachment Power The Constitution grants Congress the power of removing the President, Vice President, or other civil officers from their office through impeachment. The House has the sole power to impeach, or bring charges against the individual. There is then a trial in the Senate. A two-thirds vote of the senators present is needed for conviction. The penalty for conviction is removal from office.
