In a manner of speaking, former US president, Bill Clinton has one listed problem that has tainted his time as US President. That would be the fact that he was the second US president that was impeached.
Andrew Johnson the second and only other one was Bill Clinton However, neither Johnson nor Clinton was actually removed from office, as the Senate failed to confirm the House's ruling.
The president must be formally charged with a crime (impeached) by the House of Reps. and then must stand trial in the US Senate. If convicted, he/she is removed. Impeached does not mean removed. We have impeached two presidents, but have never removed one.

Nobody in the US was impeached on this date. Closest was Andrew Johnson who was impeached on February 24, 1868.
Andrew Johnson served less than 1 term in office, as US President. Johnson was never elected to office as President; the term he served, was the balance of President Lincoln's term, when he became President after President Lincoln was assassinated. President Johnson impeached during his 1 term as President, and was the first US President to be impeached. There were two attempts to impeach him, the second attempt was successful, and though he was impeached, he was not removed from office. (The Senate did not successfully vote to confirm the impeachment charges.) Johnson wanted to run for a second term as President but was not nominated by the Democratic party for President.
No, someone with a name sounding closer to him was.Andrew Johnson, as Vice President of the United States, succeeded Abraham Lincoln when Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. President Johnson was impeached by the US House of Representative in 1868 but the resolution failed in the Senate by one vote. Still, President Andrew Johnson, a tailor by profession, became the first US President to be impeached.
Nobody. A president continues to serve in office when he is impeached. If he is convicted and removed from office, the vice-president becomes president, same as if the president were to die.
