Why were Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton not removed from office after being impeached?

Both were acquitted when tried in the US Senate. Clinton expectedly because no Democratic senators voted with the Republican majority. Johnson avoided removal by just one vote.
The word "impeachment" actually refers to the accusal(indictment by the House), rather than a conviction. The House of Representatives has to vote to impeach, and the Senate has to vote for conviction. The resignation by Richard Nixon in 1974 avoided both an impeachment and very likely a conviction.
