If a President is impeached are they no longer President?
Impeachment is only the first step toward removing a President from office. Impeachment by the House (like a grand jury indictment) is followed by a trial in Senate and conviction by the Senate is required in order to force the president out of office. Impeachment requires only a simple majority, but conviction requires that two-thirds of the voting Senators vote to convict.

If you mean after the impeachment of the President, the answer is "The Executive" branch. The are two stages of "impeachment".

Was there any reluctance among members of the US Congress to impeach President Johnson?
Up until 1867, the impeachment process had been used sparingly. Only Federal judges had been impeached. There was some sentiment in the US Senate to not have President Johnson face impeachment. The idea of it according to some in the Senate was that it would be too embarrassing to press charges against a US President. A few voices believed that it was a wiser move to simply bear Johnson's presidency for another two years rather than to impeach him.
