The House Judiciary Committee attempted to impeach President Andrew Johnson in August 1867 on vague charges, but the resolution was voted down by members of the House. The Judiciary Committee's second attempt at impeachment, on eleven articles that were mostly related to the Tenure of Office Act, in February 1868, was successful when the House voted 126-47 in favor of the resolution.

Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson are the only two US presidents to be impeached, but impeachment is only the first step in the process of removing a president.

After first being impeached (which is like being indicted) in the House of Representatives, a vote must then be taken in the US Senate; if a majority of senators agree, then the president is removed. In the cases of Presidents Clinton and Johnson, the Senate did not vote to convict them, so both men finished their terms as president.

No. Andrew Jackson was never impeached; a later President, Andrew Johnson was. Many people confuse impeachment with being removed from office. In reality, being impeached simply means the US House of Representatives voted to file charges, called Articles of Impeachment, against a government official. After someone is impeached he (or she) has the right to a trial in the Senate to determine whether he is guilty of the charges and should be removed from office. President Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives, but the Senate voted to acquit him (found him not guilty), so he remained in office until the end of his term.
