Andrew Johnson our 17th President also went though impeachment process but got cleared by one vote of the Senate.
This happened twice, with Andrew Johnson and again with Bill Clinton. In both cases the Senate failed to convict, so the presidents remained in office until their terms expired.

TaigaBill Clinton and Andrew Johnson are the only two presidents who have gone through the entire impeachment process. They were both acquitted in the end and not impeached. President Nixon was going to be impeached but he resigned before it was announced.
William Jefferson Clinton and Andrew Johnson. Neither were convicted of the charges upon which they were impeached. Both were technically guilty of at least one of the charges against them: Johnson did violate the Tenure of Office Act, and Clinton did perjure himself to Congress. However, Johnson considered the Act unconstitutional (and later Supreme Court decisions indicate that he was right), and Clinton's perjury involved something Congress arguably had no right to ask him about in the first place, and the voting at least partially seems to have reflected a reluctance on the Senate's part to remove a President due to what amounted to a technicality.

If the US House of Representatives chooses to impeach a president who conducts the trial?
The senate holds all impeachment trials. If two thirds of the senate finds him guilty then the president will be removed from office. Only the House can impeach the President, not the entire Congress.
What is it called when only the house of representatives has power to bring charges of misbehavior on office against a us official?
Impeachment, which is the Constitutional process whereby the U.S. Congress charges and tries public officials for "high crimes and misdemeanors", and, if convicted, removes them from office. The U.S. House drafts the Articles of Impeachment, and the U.S. Senate tries them, and in the case of the President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the proceedings.Read Nixon v. United States, 506 U.S. 224 (1993).
What offenses will cause a President or VP to be removed from office?
The president or other federal official must be formally charged with a crime (impeached) by the House of Representatives by a simple majority vote. This impeachment by the House requires the US Senate to hold a trial based on the impeachment charges. When the trial is over, two-thirds of the senators must vote to convict in order to remove the official from office. Although impeachment is only the first step, the entire process is popularly referred to as impeachment.
Where is the trial held after a President is impeached?
After the House of Representatives has voted to impeach a president, the actual trial is conducted by certain members of the House chosen by that body to act as the prosecutor in much the same way that a prosecutor or district attorney conducts trials against people accused of a crime. The Senate serves as the jury in the trial and the Chief Justice of the US serves as the judge who presides over the trial.
How does ruling that the president cannot remove the vice president from office help prevent the president from making the vice president a true assistant?
The Vice President has more responsibility than being the President's assistant. He/She serves as President of the US Senate as well overseeing several other aspects of the exeutive government. During an election the President and Vice President are elected on the same ticket. People vote for a VP candidate hoping that he/she will be in office for entire four year term. The only way a VP can be removed from office is by death, resignation, or impeachment and subsequent conviction by the US Congress.
