Actually, McGrath, two presidents have been impeached, Johnson and Clinton. Impeachment is a formal accusation by the House of Representatives and is similar in nature to an indictment by a Grand Jury. However, neither of the accused were found guilty of the charges by the Senate.

In both cases the bills of impeachment were driven by spite and had nothing to do with "high crimes and misdemeanors."
