Yeah, right./----/ So when were the Articles of Impeachment voted on and passed?
Key Takeaways: Impeachment Process
- The process of impeachment is established by the U.S. Constitution.
- The impeachment process must be initiated in the House of Representatives with the passage of a resolution listing the charges or “Articles of Impeachment” against the official being impeached.
- If passed by the House, the Articles of Impeachment are considered by the Senate in a trial presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, with the 100 Senators serving as the jury.
- If the Senate votes in favor of conviction by a 2/3 supermajority vote (67 votes), the Senate will then vote to remove the official from office.

As though gathering evidence to construct the Articles of Impeachment is not part of the process.
