ProfessorFor United States Congress, Senators act as the role of a jury in the trail of a sitting President. At the end of Impeachment (i.e. the Trail), the senators vote weather to uphold the articles of impeachment or to reject the articles of impeachment. A 2/3 vote is necessary to remove a sitting president. Two Presidents have faced Articles of Impeachment, President Andrew Johnson and William J. Clinton. Both trails of impeachment ended in rejection of the articles of Impeachment. No president has ever been removed from office.
