- Yes. To impeach only means "to be accused". President Clinton was one of a two presidents (the other was Andrew Johnson) who was impeached and he was still paid. We have yet to have president be removed from office by a trial. A President is "impeached" by the house and then tried by the senate. They have to be convicted by 2/3 majority of the senate in order to be removed from office. It would take a second conviction to remove the lifetime pension that all presidents of the United States hold. To date this has never occurred.

∙ 10y agoImpeachment is only the first step in removing a President from office. After impeachment occurs by the House,the Senate holds a trial. If the President is convicted , he is removed from office and is no longer paid. If he is not convicted, he goes on being President as before. (Congress could give him a pension if it decided to do so.)

∙ 13y agoSurely he keeps getting paid while the Senate trial is being held. If he is convicted and expelled from office, he would lose his salary. I do not know about his pension in this case.

Is it true that impeachment hearings of the president can only start in the Senate?
It starts there and it ends there. Impeachment is the part of the process that is done by the House. Think of impeachment as officially calling into question some behavior of a sitting president. If impeached by the House, the president then goes through an impeachment trial by the Senate. Even if the Senate chooses to acquit, the president has still officially been impeached. There is a rough parallel with civil law. You can be indicted of a crime, and then be found not guilty at trial. But you can never say that you were not indicted.
