My apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is:
The Twentieth Amendment primarily addresses the president's term of office during the lame-duck period.
The correct answer is: A majority of the House of Representatives must vote in favor for impeachment and move to a trial before the Senate.
The correct response that describes the process of impeachment and trial for removal is: A majority of the House of Representatives must vote in favor for impeachment and move to a trial before the Senate.
To explain further:
1. Impeachment: The impeachment process begins in the House of Representatives. It requires a majority vote (at least 50% plus one) by the members of the House to pass articles of impeachment against the president, vice president, or other federal officials.
2. Trial: After the House approves the articles of impeachment, the process moves to the Senate, where a trial is conducted. The Chief Justice of the United States typically presides over the trial if the president is being impeached. During the trial, the Senate acts as the jury, listening to evidence and arguments from both sides.
3. Removal: To remove the impeached individual from office, a two-thirds majority (at least 67%) vote is required in the Senate. If two-thirds of the senators vote in favor of conviction, the individual is removed from office. If the individual is the president, they may also be disqualified from holding any future public office.
So, to recap, a majority of the House of Representatives must vote for impeachment, and then the case moves to a trial held by the Senate, where a two-thirds majority vote is needed for removal.
