The Constitution says the impeachment process involves both chambers.

No, the Constitution says the Impeachment process is the exclusive purview of the House of Representatives.

Once impeached, the Senate holds a trial to convict or acquit.

To be impeached is to be charged with an offense.

If the charges are not pressed, they are not legal charges.

But, if not sent to the senate, there technically is no impeachment.

NO the House sets the stage for the Senate Court to consider.
