Answer to Question #15814 in American Law for Olivia

Question

What role does the Supreme Court play in the impeachment process concerning the president of the United States?

Answer 1

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the impeachment trial of
the president. The trial is conducted in the U.S. Senate and prosecuted by
members of the House of Representatives following a House vote on articles of
impeachment. Salmon P. Chase carried out this constitutional duty during Andrew
Johnson's impeachment in 1868 and William H. Rehnquist during Bill Clinton's
impeachment in 1998.
