There have only been two Presidents impeached: Andrew Johnson (1868) and Bill Clinton (1998). Neither were convicted during their Senate trial of any charge in their respective impeachments.

Andrew Johnson. He was not removed from office, however, as he received an acquittal from the Senate by a margin of only one vote.
