Two US Presidents were impeached by the House of Representatives. Andrew Johnson, and Bill Clinton. It is the Sentate who votes on whether or not the impeachment charges warrant removal of the President from office. Both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were tried and acquitted by the Senate.
No president has been removed from office by the Senate confirming the charges of impeachment. Andrew Johnson, who became president after Lincoln was assassinated, was tried by the Senate in an impeachment proceeding, but was not removed from office. The Senate voted in his favor by a margin of only one vote.
