No President has ever been removed from office by the impeachment process. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton had articles of impeachment voted on by the House, but they were never convicted in the Senate. Johnson won by one vote. I do believe if Richard Nixon had not resigned, he would have been removed. When Mr. Nixon resigned, the full House had not even voted articles to the Senate. However, Barry Goldwater informed the President there were way over the number required to remove him, or 67 votes.
