Impeachment: Removal up to Senate WASHINGTON (AP) -- Similar to a grand jury, it is up to the House Judiciary Committee to make an initial determination of whether enough evidence exists to go forward with impeachment of a president. If a majority of the panel, which now has 21 Republicans and 16 Democrats, decides full proceedings are warranted, it would forward that recommendation to the full House. If a majority of the House approves the panel's recommendation, it authorizes the committee to conduct a full impeachment inquiry, which could involve public hearings and last for months. If the panel subsequently votes to impeach the president, it also sends this recommendation to the full House. Approval by the majority in the full House would send the matter to the Senate, which would conduct a trial presided over by the the chief justice from the Supreme Court. A two-thirds vote of the Senate would be required to convict the president and remove him from office. AP-NY-09-13-98 1927EDT newsday.com
