Two U.S. presidents have been impeached, but neither was impeached specifically because of affairs. President Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 for violating the Tenure of Office Act, while President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The charges against both presidents did involve elements of personal misconduct, but the primary reasons for impeachment were different.

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. (Many people think "impeached" means "thrown out of office," but that is not true.) The procedure for removing a president involves both houses of Congress. 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.
