What was the outcome of the impeachment trail of President Andrew Johnson?

Johnson, after being impeached by the House, escaped being found guilty by one vote in the Senate, and therefore was able to remain President and serve out his term of office. The act on which his impeachment was based and which he violated was later declared unconstitutional as Johnson said it should be. Another consequence was that the succession of the presidency was changed to put the Senate pro temp behind the Speaker of the House. In Johnson's day, the Senate pro tempore would have become President if Johnson was removed and the man voted to oust Johnson- a clear case of conflict of interest.

What was the president or vice president who go impeached?
Two US Presidents were impeached by the House of Representatives. Andrew Johnson, and Bill Clinton. It is the Sentate who votes on whether or not the impeachment charges warrant removal of the President from office. Both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were tried and acquitted by the Senate. No president has been removed from office by the Senate confirming the charges of impeachment. Andrew Johnson, who became president after Lincoln was assassinated, was tried by the Senate in an impeachment proceeding, but was not removed from office. The Senate voted in his favor by a margin of only one vote.
