According to Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 (Trial of Impeachments) the Senate conducts the impeachment trial with the Chief Justice presiding:

"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."

The Senate conducts a removal (impeachment) trial after the House of Representatives votes for impeachment. This is true for all officials vulnerable to impeachment, not just US Presidents.

The House of Representatives votes for impeachment while the Senate holds the trial for impeachment. This applies to all officials who are able to be impeached, not just the president. :)
