Nobody. A president continues to serve in office when he is impeached.

If he is convicted and removed from office, the vice-president becomes president, same as if the president were to die.

Who was the only president to be impeached fully?

Only two Presidents have been impeached in US history, but both were acquitted at their Senate trials, so there has never been a "fully impeached" President, assuming you mean one who was removed from office. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 for violation of the Tenure of Office Act; Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 for obstruction of justice.


Are there any preachers that have been impeached?

If you mean were there any US Presidents who were impeached who also happen to be preachers, then the answer is no. Of all the US Presidents, only one was a preacher. That person was President James Garfield. He was elected as the 20th US President in the election of 1880. He became the fourth Republican President, and the third Republican President from Ohio. He was the last person to ascend to the Presidency directly from the House of Representatives. He took office in 1881, and was assassinated shortly thereafter by a "a disgruntled office seeker" who's name I don't recall. There have been two US Presidents who have been impeached, or formally accused of "... high Crimes and Misdemeanors" by the House of Representatives. The 17th US President, Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, was the first US President to be impeached. During his trial by the Senate, he was spared the humiliation of removal from office by a margin of only one vote. The 42nd US President, William Jefferson Clinton of Arkansas, was the second US President to be impeached. During his trial by the Senate, he was spared the humiliation of removal from office by a margin of seventeen votes.

Why was Andrew Johnson unsuccessful in gaining a nomination for a third term?

Andrew Johnson served less than 1 term in office, as US President. Johnson was never elected to office as President; the term he served, was the balance of President Lincoln's term, when he became President after President Lincoln was assassinated. President Johnson impeached during his 1 term as President, and was the first US President to be impeached. There were two attempts to impeach him, the second attempt was successful, and though he was impeached, he was not removed from office. (The Senate did not successfully vote to confirm the impeachment charges.) Johnson wanted to run for a second term as President but was not nominated by the Democratic party for President.
