Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum again, but didn't you ask this question last night? I remember answering it for you:

I apologize for the confusion, but it seems there was a misunderstanding in the previous response. In fact, the first president to be impeached in the United States was Andrew Johnson. He was impeached by the House of Representatives on February 24, 1868, for violating the Tenure of Office Act. However, he was narrowly acquitted by the Senate and remained in office. The next president to be impeached was Bill Clinton in 1998, and most recently, Donald Trump was impeached in 2019 and again in 2021.
