None. Two presidents: Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson were impeached by the House of representatives, which is the equivalent of bringing charges against someone. Both of them were acquitted (found not guilty, essentially) in trials in the Senate.

Article II, section 4 states: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

The war crimes trial at Nuremberg Germany after World War 2 resulted in hoe many convitions?
There were different levels of war crimes and type of people who were charged with war crimes. The top leaders (24 of them) were all convicted of their war crimes. One, Goering, killed himself before the War Crime Tribunal could execute him. There were a hundred more people who were tried but not all of them were convicted. I did hear or see a figure of 80 percent were convicted but do not rely on that as being accurate since I could not find the exact figure to answer your question.
