how many USA presidents were impeached?

Question

Nixon was one

Answer 1

No,Nixon was not impeached. He resigned before he could be impeached.

Impeachment proceedings were started on 2, Andrew johnson and Bill Clinton,but neither of them was removed from office.

Answer 2

All the answers that claim Clinton was impeached are wrong. According to the Constitution of these United States in Article I, Section II states that the House of Representatives may bring impeachment charges against the president. Two US presidents have been subjected to this phase, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton.

However, here is the kicker: According to Article I Section three "The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present." ,

NO US president has ever been convicted under these specific rules. Therefore NO Us president has been impeached (which is also why none has been removed from office after impeachment). Johnson's vote failed by 1 and Clinton's also failed as we can all remember.


By the way, people, the whole point of an impeachment is the removal from office. If the impeachment succeeded then these men would have been removed from office in disgrace as their enemies so dearly wished. It didn't happen and I really wish Americans would learn our own history before spouting off to the contrary.

Answer 3

3 presidents have been tried for impeachment - Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton.

2 Presidents were impeached - Johnson, Clinton

1 President resigned - Nixon, when it became clear that he would be impeached.

0 Presidents have actually been removed from office.

Impeach really just means to formally accuse. When a president is impeached, it means they have been charged, it does not mean they have been removed from office. Many people do not know this.

Answer 4

2

Answer 5

Nixon was never impeached. The full house never voted on the recommended charges because Nixon resigned.
Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson were bot impeached but neither was convicted.

Answer 6

Okay, this needs to be clarified.

When a President is impeached, this means that an impeachment trial will occur----NOT that a President loses his office.

Andrew Johnson, the 17th president was impeached, and Bill Clinton was as well. But in neither case was the impeached President convicted.

So, short answer, 2 US Presidents have been impeached.

Answer 7

Andrew Jackson and Bill Clinton have both been impeached but neither was removed from office. Nixon resigned before facing impeachment

Answer 8

An "impeachment" is a suitable accusation of misconduct, such as an indictment. the abode of Representatives has the only ability of impeachment. If the abode impeaches an officer, the officer is tried by the Senate, which has the only ability to habit impeachment trials. If the President of united statesa. is impeached, then the authorities Justice of united statesa. presides on the Senate trial. In all different circumstances, the vp presides, or if none, then the President professional tempore of the Senate. purely 2 Presidents were impeached. Andrew Johnson became impeached in 1868. The Senate acquitted him by one vote. bill Clinton became impeached contained in the 1990's. The Senate acquitted him by an enormous margin. In 1974, the abode Committee on the Judiciary recommended 3 Articles of Impeachment hostile to Richard Nixon. previously the abode voted on the remember, Nixon resigned. on the time, it appeared that impeachment by the abode, and next conviction contained in the Senate, became a foregone end. for this reason, Nixon determined that he had "lost his political base," and resigned the workplace of President of united statesa..

The Republican get mutually wanting to call itself the Union get mutually with the intention to attraction to conflict Democrats contained in the Election of 1864.

No President has ever been removed from workplace.

Answer 9

They wanted to impeach Jackson, Lincoln didn't live long enough, Andrew Johnson was impeached,(Hillary was on the committee lobbying to impeach Nixon), and of course poor old Bubba because some BJ queen didn't get her dress cleaned.

Answer 10

Bill Clinton was impeached 1998 (I think we all know why) and the only other president was Andrew Johnson in 1868 for replacing Secretary of War Edwin Stanton for Lorenzo Thomas in violation of the Tenure of Office Act of 1867. Both Presidents have been aquitted of all charges.
