Trick question; only the House of Representatives has the power to impeach.
The Senate puts the impeached person on trial and votes on their guilt or innocence. A two-thirds majority vote is required for a conviction. The vote in President Johnson's case was 35-19 guilty, one vote less than the required two thirds, so Johnson was acquitted. The Tenure of Office Act of 1867, which Johnson was accused of violating, was repealed in 1887, and in a similar case in the 20th century the Supreme Court referred to the Tenure of Office Act as "invalid" and affirmed Johnson's belief that the President does have right to fire a Cabinet Member without Congressional approval.
