No. Bill Clinton was the second President to be impeached. Andrew Johnson was the first to be impeached, when the House of Representatives brought eleven articles of impeachment against him in 1868 for violating the Tenure of Office Act, among other things. President Richard Nixon was nearly impeached in 1974, but escaped charges by resigning.

Answer
Yes, he was. But he was not taken out of office. He was sent to trial but was seen as not guilty.
