It starts there and it ends there. Impeachment is the part of the process that is done by the House. Think of impeachment as officially calling into question some behavior of a sitting president. If impeached by the House, the president then goes through an impeachment trial by the Senate. Even if the Senate chooses to acquit, the president has still officially been impeached. There is a rough parallel with civil law. You can be indicted of a crime, and then be found not guilty at trial. But you can never say that you were not indicted.
