Richard Nixon
Nixon was not impeached. He resigned before the House was to vote on whether to impeach or not. Only two presidents have ever been impeached, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton (neither were removed from office). After Nixon's resignation, Vice President Gerald Ford became President. Ford became Vice President by appointment when Spiro Agnew resigned from the post due to a scandal unrelated to Watergate (the event whose cover-up led to Nixon's resignation.)
No president has ever lost his job due to impeachment. The two Presidents in our history that were impeached were Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998. In both cases these Presidents were acquitted and continued to hold office. However, it should be noted that articles of impeachment were being considered against Richard M. Nixon in 1974. President Nixon would most likely have been impeached had he not resigned from office.
Richard Nixon is the only president of the U.S.A to resign and not complete his term as president.
