Johnson and Clinton WERE impeached. They were just not removed from office. Impeachment does not mean removal from office, dlpm.

Impeachment is similar to an indictment by a grand jury in regular criminal law. Both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached; the House of Representatives felt there was enough evidence to merit their trials in the Senate. Both were acquitted by the Senate.

Two U.S. presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth chief executive, and William J. Clinton, the forty-second.

No American presidents have been impeached. Andrew Johnson (1868) and William Clinton (1998) were acquitted.

Andrew Jackson and Bill Clinton were tried, but not found guilty, as DIPM has stated.
Appropos to this, Richard Nixon was nearly tried, but he resigned before he could be officially tried, and then Gerald Ford pardoned him. In the news reports on NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, and probably many others, it was reported that Ford did not cut a deal to pardon Nixon in exchange for his appointment. If you consider only presidents about which hearings were held, then perhaps you want to mention Nixon's name anyway, because
(1) Nixon predates Clinton;
(2) None of Nixon, Clinton, or Jackson were found guilty.
