{{see also|Pendakwaan dan pemakzulan di Amerika Serikat}}
Pendakwaan dimulai di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat tempat pasal pendakwaan disusun. Pasal ini kemudian diundi oleh anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat. Tiap-tiap pasal diundi secara terpisah dan memerlukan mayoritas sederhana untuk lolos. Begitu sebuah pasal disahkan di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, presiden didakwa. Pasal tersebut kemudian dikirim ke Senat untuk diadili dengan sidang
If impeachment and conviction were to occur before Trump's term ends, it would make Pence the 46th president with immediate effect, and Trump the first president in United States history to be convicted in an impeachment trial. Because the Senate is not scheduled to reconvene until January 19, 2021,<ref>{{cite web|last=Haynes|first=Danielle|date=January 9, 2021|title=McConnell: Senate can't take up impeachment until Jan. 19|url=https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2021/01/09/McConnell-Senate-cant-take-up-impeachment-until-Jan-19/5821610209825/|agency=United Press International}}</ref> discussions have taken place around possibly convicting Trump in the Senate after he leaves office, leaving open the possibility of permanently restricting a convicted former president from ever holding public office. However, this has never been constitutionally tested, except for the 1876 [[trader post scandal]], which saw Secretary of War [[William W. Belknap]] impeached by the House even after he had already resigned, although he was acquitted by the Senate.<ref name="Williams"/> As with a resignation, Pence would serve as the shortest-tenured president in American history if Trump were convicted before his term ends before handing power to Biden as the 47th president on January 20.
