Is Bill Clinton the ONLY elected President to be impeached?

Question

I laugh at all the liberals who deny Clinton's impeachment.

I checked myself guys. He WAS the only elected President in U.S. history to be impeached.

A.J. wasn't elected.

Answer 1

Bill Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998 by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote). Two other articles of impeachment failed—a second count of perjury in the Jones case (by a 205–229 vote), and one accusing President Clinton of abuse of power (by a 148–285 vote). He was acquitted by the Senate.

On Article l, The "perjury" count, 55 Senators voted "No"
(45 Democrats and 10 Republicans).

On Article ll, The "obstruction of justice" count, 50 Senators voted "No"
(45 Democrats and 5 Republicans).

The vote for impeachment in the house of representatives lacked legitimacy, it was exclusively one party (republican) voting for it.
It should be noted that a party controlling the house of representative can pass whatever it wants by virtue of a simple majority.
At any rate, William Jefferson Clinton was acquitted by the Senate.
By contrast, Richard M. Nixon resigned in disgrace not even wanting to wait for the coming impeachment and conviction.

Answer 2

The amount of ignorance being displayed by most of the above answers is very disturbing.

Some people don't know the difference between Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson.

Some people seem to think that Andrew Johnson was an ELECTED President, which he wasn't, he was elected Vice Prez.

Some people say that Clinton wasn't impeached.

Yipes. I'm worried.

Answer 3

Impeachment is the first of two stages in a specific process for a legislative body to remove a government official without that official's agreement. The second stage is called conviction.
Two presidents:
Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 after violating the then-newly created Tenure of Office Act. President Johnson was acquitted of all charges by a single vote in the Senate.
Bill Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998 by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote). Two other articles of impeachment failed—a second count of perjury in the Jones case (by a 205–229 vote), and one accusing President Clinton of abuse of power (by a 148–285 vote). He was acquitted by the Senate
Many mistakenly assume Richard Nixon was impeached. While the House Judiciary Committee did approve articles of impeachment against him (by wide margins) and did report those articles to the full House,

Nixon resigned prior to House consideration of the impeachment resolutions.

Answer 4

Impeachment is merely the act of bringing charges against a President. Clinton WAS impeached for perjury in regards to lying about the Monica Lewinsky affair.

Impeachment IS NOT the removal of the President from office. It is just charging him with an offense. And while Clinton was acquitted by the Senate during his Impeachment, he was disbarred.

QUOTE:
"Impeachment is so rare that the term is often misunderstood.

==A typical misconception is to confuse it with involuntary removal from office; in fact, it is only the legal statement of charges, paralleling an indictment in criminal law.==

An official who is impeached faces a second legislative vote (whether by the same body or another), which determines conviction, or failure to convict, on the charges embodied by the impeachment. Most constitutions require a supermajority to convict."
END QUOTE

Andrew Johnson was Impeached in 1868 after violating the Tenure of Office Act. He was acquitted of all charges by the Senate.

Bill Clinton was Impeached on 12/19/1998 for perjury to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. Like Johnson, he was acquitted of all charges by the Senate.

Andrew Johnson

Are you 5 years old? Clinton was never impeached.

Yes. Andrew Johnson was impeached, too, but he was not elected. He was only in office because John Wilkes Booth put him there.

Yep. Andrew Johnson was also impeached, but was not an elected president. I think you probably could have looked this up for yourself...

Answer 9

No, Andrew Johnson was impeached. Nixon resigned.

Answer 10

No.

Is Ronald Reagan the only elected president to run guns to Iran while selling nerve gas to Iraq?

Is GW Bush the only elected president to lose a war that he lied to start in the first place?

Is Gerald Ford the only elected president to pardon a former president that was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors?
