It is not true that President Andrew Jackson was almost impeached. You are thinking of Johnson, not Jackson. And in Johnson's case, it was a complicated matter of post Civil War politics. Some people thought that Johnson, a southerner, should not be allowed to succeed Lincoln following the assassination of Lincoln.
