Rory Hayes · Answer 1

1.) House of Representatives

2.) The Senate

Explanation:

1.) The federal House of Representatives can impeach federal officials, including the president, and each state's legislature can impeach state officials, including the governor, in accordance with their respective federal or state constitution.

2. The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present.

So basically the Congress deals with impeachment bc Congress is divided into two institutions: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
