What was Andrew Jackson's impeachment trail?
Andrew Jackson was not impeached; Andrew Johnson was. When the Radical Republicans were in charge of Congress, they hoped that the South was punished severely, and Johnson talked tough about Reconstruction. Andrew Johnson then proceeded to do exactly opposite of what he had promised, vetoing every act that helped the new freedmen and allowing a swift and extremely lenient reunion for the Southern states. The Radical Republicans were astonished and tried to kick him from the position of President.

Who resigned the Presidency in 1974 in the face of certain impeachment?
Richard Nixon resigned after facing probable impeachment. Impeachment would lead to a Senate trail at which a 2/3 vote would be needed to convict. Conviction might not have been certain- I am not sure how much hard evidence could be found. What was certain is that the Congress would be tied up with the matter for a long long time and the country would suffer in many ways.
Was Johnson convicted or acquitted in his senate impeachment trail?

What serves as the prosecutors in a presidential impeachment trail?
The House of Representatives serves as a combination prosecutor/grand jury in that it both draws up the charges and votes whether to impeach the official on such charges. The House first appoints several Representatives as what are called "Managers" to draft the charges. Then the entire House votes on whether to impeach the official on the charges. If the vote is in the affirmative, the Managers handle presenting the evidence to the Senate or Senate Impeachment Committee.
