What body can try impeachments of the president of the US?
The House of Representatives has sole authority to bring Articles of Impeachment (like a grand jury indictment) against the President and other government officials. If the House votes in favor of impeachment, the case proceeds to trial in the Senate. No one can be removed from office by impeachment (the first step in the process) alone.
Can the president divorce his wife while in office?
Probably. He would have to follow the same process as anyone else to get a divorce. Sometimes it takes considerable time to get a settlement, particular if a lot of money is involved. He might be out of office before the divorce went through. (Divorce alone would not be grounds for impeachment if that is the point of the question.)
What is the function of a senator?
1. Only the Senate may validate and/or approve the signature/rejection of treaties. 2. The Senate is responsible for Impeachment Trials, once a bill of Impeachment is passed by the House. 3. The Senate must also give its consent in order for the country to legally declare war (ie: the House alone can't do it). 4. The Senate must confirm all Cabinet, Supreme Court, and Federal Court appointments, as well as all Ambassadorships. Andrew Johnson's placement of a cabinet-member who had been rejected by the Senate, at the time, was the direct cause of his own impeachment.
