Richard Nixon was NOT impeached. He resigned before the House had an opportunity to file articles of impeachment against him, to avoid the inevitable. Only two presidents have been impeached, that is, formal charges brought them: Andrew Johnson and William J. Clinton. Both Presidents were acquitted at their Senate trials.
