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."

The process is popularly called "impeachment", but this is a misnomer.

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.

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.
