President Andrew Johnson, who succeeded President Lincoln in office after Lincoln's assassination, was impeached by the House of Representatives in February 1868 for violating the Tenure of Office Act. He was acquitted after his Senate trial in May of 1868, and served out the rest of his term (1865-1869).
