The procedure calls for the impeachment resolution to go to the House Judiciary Committee, which then decides whether it merits consideration by the full House. If the House then votes (by simple majority) that any article merits a trial, the president is officially "impeached" and the Senate conducts a trial to determine whether remove the president from office.
Don't expect the Judiciary Committee to put the matter before the House. The "Democratic leadership" finds impeachment politically inexpedient at best and are not pleased with Kucinich.
