Impeached

President Andrew Johnson was the first U.S. President to be impeached. Johnson was acquitted in each of two impeachment attempts by Congress during his presidency in the politically tumultuous post Civil War period. Sixteen federal officials, including two U.S. presidents, have been impeached in the U.S. since 1797.
