Was Clinton the ONLY elected President in U.S. history to be Impeached?

Answer 1

Yes. The only other president to be impeached was Andrew Johnson who became president when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Johnson served the remaining years of Lincoln's second term. He was not elected to the office of president.

Answer 2

As of this moment, that is correct because Andrew Johnson was not elected to the presidency. Things could change if the Democrats decide to impeach Bush.

The impeachment procedure only requires a majority vote in the House of Representatives and Democrats have that majority.

Answer 3

2 presidents have been officially impeached. nixon resighned before hand and then ford pardoned him which stoped all investagations into his illegal activities. the president after lincoln got impeached but it didnt stick.
he fired someone in his own office but congress had just passed a law saying firings had to meet there aproval so they impeached him. he was the 17th president.
so- just clinton for a lewensky and that guy for firing someone. but still bush is not for lying and getting us into a false war which is a real war but for false reasons. it is disgusting that bush isnt being held accountable for his global crimes.
good question.

Answer 4

Andrew Johnson, the guy who succeeded Lincoln, was impeached but acquitted.

Clinton was impeached but acquited

Nixon fled the white house in shame before being impeached.

Answer 5

Andrew Johnson

Johnson, a Southern Democrat who became president after Lincoln's assassination, supported a mild policy of Reconstruction after the Civil War. The Radical Republicans in Congress were furious at his leniency toward ex-Confederates and obvious lack of concern for ex-slaves, demonstrated by his veto of civil rights bills and opposition to the Fourteenth Amendment. To protect Radical Republicans in Johnson's administration and diminish the strength of the president, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act in 1867, which prohibited the president from dismissing office holders without the Senate's approval. A defiant Johnson tested the constitutionality of the Act by attempting to oust Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. His violation of the Act became the basis for impeachment in 1868. But the Senate was one vote short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict, and Johnson was acquitted May 26, 1868.

No. President Andrew Johnson, seventeenth president, was also impeached. They were both acquittal remember.

Answer 9

Clinton was never impeached! Did you see him leave the white house?

The Impeachment Trial in the Senate commenced on January 7, 1999, with the announcement by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the presence of the managers on the part of the House of Representatives to conduct proceedings on behalf of the House concerning the impeachment of the President of the United States. After Congressman Hyde read the Articles of Impeachment approved by the House, the Senate then adjourned, reconvening later that day with Chief Justice Rehnquist present, who was sworn in as presiding officer for the trial and who in turn swore in the 100 senators as jurors for the proceedings. The President's case was outlined in the White House Trial Memorandum submitted on January 13, which was countered by the House Rebuttal to White House Trial Memorandum. In subsequent sessions, the Senate voted to adopt a series of motions to limit evidence primarily to the previously video-taped depositions, affidavits and other documents previously introduced, and also voted to close its final deliberations to the public.

The Senate voted on the Articles of Impeachment on February 12, with a two-thirds majority, or 67 Senators, required to convict. On Article I, that charged that the President "...willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the grand jury" and made "...corrupt efforts to influence the testimony of witnesses and to impede the discovery of evidence" in the Paula Jones lawsuit, the President was found not guilty with 45 Senators voting for the President's removal from office and 55 against. Ten Republicans split with their colleagues to vote for acquittal; all 45 Democrats voted to acquit. On Article II, charging that the President "...has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice"..., the vote was 50-50, with all Democrats and five Republicans voting to acquit

Clinton was NEVER impeached!

In his trial, which required a 2/3 majority to impeach. On one article had less than 45% voted for impeachment and 50% the 2nd article. It takes 75%!!! They didn't even come close!

While presidents have had Articles of Impeachment passed, not one president has ever been convicted in the trial portion, therefore, no one has been impeached!!

Answer 10

No, Andrew Johnson was impeached (Nixon was not).

Neither were convicted, but both were impeached.
