Quoted from Marcia1061 from the same question previously asked on WikiAnswers:
"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."
no, The process of impeachment is an option of the Congress.

No. The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment under the Constitution.
The process is popularly called "impeachment", but this is a misnomer. "Impeachment" means indictment and refers only to the first part of the procedure, which takes place in the House of Representatives. The second part is called "conviction" and can happen only after the President has already been impeached. Conviction by the Senate automatically results in removal from office.
Charges of impeachment against a president can be brought only by the House of Representatives. This process typically begins with an investigation and can result in articles of impeachment being drafted and voted on by the House. If a simple majority of the House votes in favor, the president is then impeached, and the process moves to the Senate for a trial. Only the Senate has the authority to convict and remove the president from office.
1867=Andrew Johnson
Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson are the only two presidents who have gone through the entire impeachment process. They were both acquitted in the end and not impeached. President Nixon was going to be impeached but he resigned before it was announced.
The only constitutional method of removing a President or Vice President is the impeachment process, which requires the House of Representatives to pass formal articles of impeachment and the Senate to pass a conviction.
No. The impeachment process is the only lawful way to remove a president from office. Of course, he could voluntarily resign under the threat of impeachment as did Richard Nixon.
No, the president does not have the power to remove the vice president from office. The only way a vice president can be removed is through the impeachment process by Congress.
The word you're probably looking for is "impeachment", though technically the impeachment process is only part of it (after being impeached by the House of Representatives, the President must then be convicted by the Senate).
No, the president does not have the power to remove the vice president from office. The only way the vice president can be removed from office is through the impeachment process by Congress.
