President Andrew Johnson was the President who escaped impeachment by one vote. The presiding justice, Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, charged Johnson with eleven counts of violating a law of congress. President Johnson had defied the Tenure of Office Act and removed Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton from office. Johnson was found innocent, but only one vote separated this decision. The conscientious congressmen who voted "not guilty" were concerned that the nation's system of checks and balances would be destroyed if Congress were able to impeach the President because they did not agree.

Name of us presidents that have been impeached?
Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson are the only two US presidents to be impeached, but impeachment is only the first step in the process of removing a president. (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. After first being impeached (which is like being indicted) in the House of Representatives, a vote must then be taken in the US Senate; if a majority of senators agree, then the president is removed. In the cases of Presidents Clinton and Johnson, the Senate did not vote to convict them, so both men finished their terms as president.

Yes, German Americans faced some level of persecution during World War I and World War II due to anti-German sentiment.

Are there any preachers that have been impeached?
If you mean were there any US Presidents who were impeached who also happen to be preachers, then the answer is no. Of all the US Presidents, only one was a preacher. That person was President James Garfield. He was elected as the 20th US President in the election of 1880. He became the fourth Republican President, and the third Republican President from Ohio. He was the last person to ascend to the Presidency directly from the House of Representatives. He took office in 1881, and was assassinated shortly thereafter by a "a disgruntled office seeker" who's name I don't recall. There have been two US Presidents who have been impeached, or formally accused of "... high Crimes and Misdemeanors" by the House of Representatives. The 17th US President, Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, was the first US President to be impeached. During his trial by the Senate, he was spared the humiliation of removal from office by a margin of only one vote. The 42nd US President, William Jefferson Clinton of Arkansas, was the second US President to be impeached. During his trial by the Senate, he was spared the humiliation of removal from office by a margin of seventeen votes.
