Who was the only elected U.S. President to have ever been impeached?

Answer 1

Clinton. Andrew Johnson was only elected Vice President under Lincoln. When Lincoln was assassinated he became President.

Somehow I get the feeling you already knew this......

Answer 2

If I remember correctly that would Johnson and Clinton... which isn't exactly one person...

Nice job. Very nice job. You can't even get your facts straight, and you expect us to see that your political views are correct...

Johnson was impeached (If i remember correctly) for not being hard enough on the South during Reconstruction... it was something along those lines... It was a fluke then, a congress dominated by a single political party decided the president wasn't doing what they asked and decided they could remove him for it.

Clinton was impeached for Perjury. Not Libby style perjury, for the record, where you lie about something that is related to the government. The kind of perjury where you lie about something in your private life. That you'd rather people didn't know. So congress decided that he deserved to be removed from office, because if someone will not admit to having an affair, then they obviously won't tell the truth about anything else.

In both cases of impeachment (presidential impeachment at the very least) so far, the person that was impeached, was done so on charges that were either invented or frivolous.

Isn't it odd that now that we have a president more corrupt that Nixon and Harding combined, that we won't impeach him?

Answer 3

William Jefferson Clinton. All the others resigned before the vote to impeach was completed.

What a lot of people don't understand is that "Impeachment" does NOT mean automatic removal from office.

Look at it this way. One house of congress is the "Grand Jury" and "indicts" (impeaches) the accused and the other house of congress is the "Trial Jury" and if there are enough votes, "convicts" (removes from office) the accused.

Answer 4

Clinton was Impeached by the House. The Senate was already in his pocket. Lott and Gingrich were the ones that refused to listen. David Shippers, the Liberal Chicago Democrat lawyer that represented the House Managers explains in his book that there was a secure evidence room where the members of Congress could review the evidence against Clinton and Gore. Only one member of Congress entered the room and reviewed the evidence. That is Mary Bono. They did not want to Impeach him for lying. They wanted to Impeach Clinton and Gore for committing felonies by violating immigration laws and having others stand it for people to take the required interviews that were then registered as Democrats

Answer 5

Sorry, there have been 2 impeached presidents.
Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, but acquitted by the Senate. Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached.

Answer 6

There have been two and nearly three-
Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached. Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached.

Answer 7

No president has been impeached. Articles of impeachment were charged against Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton. Non were actually impeached. If they had been, they would have been removed from office. Both houses of Congress have to agree on the Articles of Impeachment for it to happen.

Richard Nixon came the closest to actually being impeached. He would have been removed from office, but resigned before he was impeached.

Bush should be impeached.

Answer 8

There has been more than one president that has been impeached. None, so far has been taken out of office because of impeachment.

Answer 9

Andrew Johnson was the 1st(but not elected), Clinton was 2nd, neither was convicted.

Answer 10

Andrew Johnson in 1868. Bill Clinton was just railroaded.
