The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the impeachment trial of the president. The trial is conducted in the U.S. Senate and prosecuted by members of the House of Representatives following a House vote on articles of impeachment. Salmon P. Chase carried out this constitutional duty during Andrew Johnson's impeachment in 1868 and William H. Rehnquist during Bill Clinton's impeachment in 1998.
