Payne · Answer 1

True!

Explanation:

The House of Representatives only has the power to impeach the President. Keep in mind, the term "impeach" is not the official vote that would remove the President from office. Impeach would be formally charging the President with any crime that would legitimately warrant a removal.

The Senate, on the other hand, can only try the President for the charges in the impeachment.
