Of those president that were not impeached, Richard Nixon came the closest to being impeached. There is virtually no question that he would have been impeached if he had not resigned. (Whether he would have been convicted is harder to predict.)

Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton actually were impeached but not convicted. Nixon most likely would have been impeached had he not resigned his office when he did.
