According to the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 3, "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." This means that two-thirds, or 67 out of 100 senators, must vote "yea" in order for an impeachment article to be approved.
