Yes. Two US Presidents were impeached, and another probably would have been, but resigned before the House of Representatives could take action.
President Andrew Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act in 1868; President Bill Clinton was impeached for Obstruction of Justice in 1998. Both men were acquitted after their Senate trials.
President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 because he expected to be impeached after the US Supreme Court ordered him to give the Watergate tapes to Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski.

(Many people think "impeached" means "thrown out of office," but that is not true.) The procedure for removing a president involves both houses of Congress.
