Well I need to know who normally presides over an impeachment trial(not for the president or v.p.) sooo yea it would help :)…and I dont think its the chief of justice but im not surre

Answer #1

Who presides over the impeachment trial of a vice president? The constitution clearly states that only the president’s trial is presided by the Cheif Justice. I guess it would be the president pro temp of the senate.

Answer #2

Removing an official from office requires two steps: (1) a formal accusation, or impeachment, by the House of Representatives, and (2) a trial and conviction by the Senate. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the House; conviction is more difficult, requiring a two-thirds vote by the Senate. The vice president presides over the Senate proceedings in the case of all officials except the president, whose trial is presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

THE ANSWER IS THE VICE PRESIDENT IN ALL BUT IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT > IF THE IMPEACHMENT OF A PRESIDENT, THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
