I think you are referring to the fact that he was impeached. Impeachment is like an accusation- it leads to a trial by the Senate at which a 2/3 vote is required to convict.

What president in US History was impeached and why?
Two US Presidents were impeached but the Senate never confirmed the impeachment charges, and therefore, neither of the two Presidents were removed from office. President Andrew Johnson, was impeached over violating the "Tenure of Office Act"- Johnson suspended Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, which the Senate was to approve prior to Johnson actually removing Stanton, from the position. The Senate did NOT approve the removal of Stanton, and while the Senate was on recess, Johnson appointed a new Secretary of War. The Senate immediately began trying Johnson for the articles of impeachment, which had already been passed by the House. After a 3 month trial, Johnson's impeachment was not confirmed, and he therefore remained in office as president. William Jefferson Clinton, was the other US President impeached, while in office. The impeachment charges brought before the House were, Perjury, and Obstruction of Justice. The Senate needed a 2/3s vote to confirm the charges (once Clinton was tried, which he was.), and remove him from office, as President. The Senate's final vote to confirm the impeachment charges were, 45-55, a far cry from a 2/3 vote. Which, resulted in Clinton's ability to serve out the rest of his term, as the President of the United States of America. Many also think that Nixon was impeached (in fact, many people think that Clinton was NOT impeached, and that Nixon was impeached. This is absolutely incorrect.). Nixon resigned from serving the rest of his second term, as President, after the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment against him, and reported the articles to the House of Representatives. So, it is likely the House would have voted to impeach President Nixon.
