Johnson ignored the Tenure of Office Act.
The House of Representatives brought eleven articles of impeachment against President Andrew Johnson, most related to the violation of the Tenure of Office Act that occurred when Johnson attempted to remove Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton from office.
Thus far, the only other was Bill Clinton.
Andrew Johnson was the President when Andrew Johnson was. Andrew Johnson was the Vice President for Abraham Lincoln's short second term, ended by Lincoln's assassination.
Edwin Stanton, as the Secretary of War under President Andrew Johnson, played a crucial role in the impeachment proceedings against Johnson. He was a staunch opponent of Johnson's policies, particularly his approach to Reconstruction, and openly defied the president's orders. Stanton's dismissal by Johnson in 1867 was one of the key triggers for the impeachment, as it violated the Tenure of Office Act, which aimed to restrict the president's power to remove certain officeholders without Senate approval. His testimony and actions provided significant evidence against Johnson during the impeachment trial.
President Andrew Johnson was impeached but his trial in the US Senate did not find him guilty. He served out the remainder of his term. He left office in 1869. US Grant was then the 18th US president.

Two US Presidents were impeached by the House of Representatives. Andrew Johnson, and Bill Clinton. It is the Sentate who votes on whether or not the impeachment charges warrant removal of the President from office. Both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were tried and acquitted by the Senate. No president has been removed from office by the Senate confirming the charges of impeachment. Andrew Johnson, who became president after Lincoln was assassinated, was tried by the Senate in an impeachment proceeding, but was not removed from office. The Senate voted in his favor by a margin of only one vote.
The House voted 126 to 47 in favor of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson.
