I use fancyhdr.  I haven't used multiline headers much, but something 
like the sample below seems to do what you want.  The 
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} is responsible for removing the 
rule.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\begin{document}
\lhead{}
\chead{\emph{This is the first header line}\\This is the second header line}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{\emph{This is the first footer line}\\This is the second line}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\section{Introduction}
This is a sample document with a two line header with no rule.
\end{document}
