Why were Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton not removed from office after being impeached?
Both were acquitted when tried in the US Senate. Clinton expectedly because no Democratic senators voted with the Republican majority. Johnson avoided removal by just one vote.
The word "impeachment" actually refers to the accusal(indictment by the House), rather than a conviction. The House of Representatives has to vote to impeach, and the Senate has to vote for conviction. The resignation by Richard Nixon in 1974 avoided both an impeachment and very likely a conviction.

Did Andrew Johnson make Thanksgiving a national holiday?
The Continental Congress proclaimed a Thanksgiving holiday (December 18) in 1777, and Washington proclaimed a Thanksgiving day (Nov. 26th) in 1789. Adams did likewise in 1798 and 1799. Jefferson did not proclaim any such holiday, believing it to be an impermissible conflation of church and state. Madison proclaimed holidays in 1814 and 1815.
From 1816 to 1863, there was no federal Thanksgiving, but by the end of that period, most states had established the holiday.
Thanksgiving was established annually by presidential proclamation (frequently expressed as a "recommendation" by the president) from 1863 until 1941, when Congress established it as a recurring national holiday.
Lincoln's proclamation in 1863 is generally regarded as establishing the national holiday, but it really only proclaimed it for that year. It did, however, establish a precedent followed by his successors, including Andrew Johnson (though in 1865, the holiday occurred in December). In the 1930's, FDR attempted to move the date back one week to enlarge the holiday shopping period, but Congress set the date, and firmly established the holiday, in 1941.
Presidents continue to proclaim it, though the proclamation is now superfluous.

What was Johnson's reconstruction plan?

Later, Congress organized the Freedmen's Bureau which helped Blacks find jobs, protected their rights, and established hospitals and schools for them throughout the South. Due to the formation of the Black Codes and the Ku Klux Klan, Congress was convinced that Johnson's plan for Reconstruction had failed and Congress took control. President Johnson opposed Congressional Reconstruction saying it was unfair to the South.
