Impeachment of  a U.S. President

Should a majority of the House of Representatives vote for impeachment, the Senate conducts a trial. A two-thirds majority is required in the Senate to convict, and subsequently remove, a president from office.  This has never happened.

Only two presidents in U.S. history have been impeached.  The last time a sitting president was impeached was President Bill Clinton, in 1998. The first was President Andrew Johnson in 1868, the second Mr. Clinton.  Neither were convicted in a Senate trial.  The Senate could not reach a two-thirds vote in Mr. Johnson’s trial.  Mr. Clinton was acquitted.

Of the country’s 45 presidents, 13 have had impeachment resolutions introduced calling for their impeachment.  Every president since President Richard Nixon, who was never formally impeached, except Cart, has had at least one resolution of impeachment introduced. Three separate impeachment resolutions have been introduced in the house against Mr. Trump since 2017.
