Best Answer

If a president is convicted of a crime by congress, they are impeached. If congress decides toward it, the president must leave office. However, they can veto it. Two presidents have been impeached. They are Andrew Johnson, and Bill Clinton. Also, Richard Nixon would have been impeached for The Watergate Scandal, but resigned before such happened.
