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.
No US presidents have been impeached and convicted and so removed from office.
After a government official is impeached in the House, the official will be tried in the Senate. Two U.S. Presidents have been impeached. They are Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson.

Richard Nixon was NOT impeached. He resigned before the House had an opportunity to file articles of impeachment against him, to avoid the inevitable. Only two presidents have been impeached, that is, formal charges brought them: Andrew Johnson and William J. Clinton. Both Presidents were acquitted at their Senate trials.
The president must be formally charged with a crime (impeached) by the House of Reps. and then must stand trial in the US Senate. If convicted, he/she is removed. Impeached does not mean removed. We have impeached two presidents, but have never removed one.
There have been two presidents that were impeached by the House of Representatives, and they were Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Although they were both impeached they were acquitted by the Senate.

Presidents are impeached by the House, but tried by the Senate. Impeaching someone is essentially charging them with a crime. The Senate then hears the trial and serves as the jury. The trial in the Senate is presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
None. Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached (had charges filed against them) by the US House of Representatives, but both were acquitted at their Senate trials. The Senate came up only one vote short of the 2/3 required to convict Andrew Johnson. In Clinton's case, 55 senators voted to acquit. President Nixon was never impeached because he resigned before the House of Representatives could complete the process.
Two U.S. Presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives but found not guilty by the Senate. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 and acquitted by one vote, while Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and acquitted on both articles of impeachment. No U.S. President has been removed from office following impeachment.
Three presidents have been impeached but not removed from office. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, and Donald Trump in 2019 and 2021. In each case, the Senate acquitted them and they remained in office.
