The first United States president to be impeached was Andrew Johnson in 1868. He was impeached because of his lack of cooperation with laws passed by congress to restrict his power. He was eventually acquitted during his trial as the senate fell short of the required two-thirds majority required to convict Andrew Johnson during the trial.
