Impeachment of Andrew Johnson?
There were two attempts to impeach former president Andrew Johnson. The first attempt to impeach him was based on complaints only and when the senate voted to impeach him it was unsuccessful. The second attempt to impeach the former president was also unsuccessful but was based on something more reliable. The president violated the Tenure of office, which is when the president gets elected, his cabinet must stay the same throughout their presidency. The president continued his term in office.
