What are the list of presidents that have been impeached?
Two US presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Both were tried by the Senate (as is required in impeachment) and acquitted. Clinton was acquitted by a very wide margin - a 2/3 majority vote of the senate is required to convict, and on each charge, no more than half of the senate voted to convict him. Johnson, on the other hand, was acquitted by only one vote. Richard Nixon chose to resign rather than face impeachment. The House of Representatives was already holding hearings considering whether to draw up articles of impeachment against him, and then the Supreme Court ordered the release of several recorded conversations showing that he knew about the cover-up of the Watergate break-in, and tried to stop the FBI from investigating. In the face of this, it became certain that he would be impeached, and, most likely, convicted and removed from office. He therefore resigned to avoid complete disgrace. It is only speculation regarding former US president Richard Nixon.
What president in US History was impeached and why?
Two US Presidents were impeached but the Senate never confirmed the impeachment charges, and therefore, neither of the two Presidents were removed from office. President Andrew Johnson, was impeached over violating the "Tenure of Office Act"- Johnson suspended Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, which the Senate was to approve prior to Johnson actually removing Stanton, from the position. The Senate did NOT approve the removal of Stanton, and while the Senate was on recess, Johnson appointed a new Secretary of War. The Senate immediately began trying Johnson for the articles of impeachment, which had already been passed by the House. After a 3 month trial, Johnson's impeachment was not confirmed, and he therefore remained in office as president. William Jefferson Clinton, was the other US President impeached, while in office. The impeachment charges brought before the House were, Perjury, and Obstruction of Justice. The Senate needed a 2/3s vote to confirm the charges (once Clinton was tried, which he was.), and remove him from office, as President. The Senate's final vote to confirm the impeachment charges were, 45-55, a far cry from a 2/3 vote. Which, resulted in Clinton's ability to serve out the rest of his term, as the President of the United States of America. Many also think that Nixon was impeached (in fact, many people think that Clinton was NOT impeached, and that Nixon was impeached. This is absolutely incorrect.). Nixon resigned from serving the rest of his second term, as President, after the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment against him, and reported the articles to the House of Representatives. So, it is likely the House would have voted to impeach President Nixon.
