Yes.
Andrew Johnson was impeached but your question pertained to *elected* presidents and Johnson took office after Lincoln's assisnation.
Bill Clinton remains the only elected president in history to be impeached.

Nah. Back in 1868 Andrew Johnson got himself impeached by the House over an alledged violation of the Tenure of Office Act that involved his attempt to fire the Secreatry of War, Edwin Stanton. He was impeached by the House but acquitted by one vote in the Senate, and the Tenure of Office Act was subsequently declared to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
Oh, and Missy, yes, Clinton was impeached. He just wasn't convicted. President Bill Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998 by the House of Representatives and subsequently acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. The charges were perjury and obstruction of justice.
*Later*
Seth nailed it. He's right. Andrew Johnson took the office as a result of Lincoln's assasination and was never elected. The answer is that Clinton is the only elected president ever impeached.

Bill Clinton was never impeached. There was talk about it, but it never took place. Nixon was in the process of being impeached when he resigned. I'm not sure whether anyone was ever actually impeached.

He was not a disgrace to this country. We were alot better off with him in the white house than we are with Bush. We didn't have such high gas prices, the job market was better, we were just better off period.
