    No one

    Explanation:

    No one person can impeach a sitting president. The Speaker of the House, however, can call for an impeachment investigation. After that a committee is formed to investigate the crimes of the President. But the "impeachment" doesn't begin until the House of Representatives votes to impeach a president. A simple majority is all it takes to have a President impeached.
