Jackson was impeached? I think you mean Andrew Johnson, who was Lincoln's VP when he was assassinated and moved up to the Oval Office as a result. He was impeached, and fell one vote short of conviction in the Senate.

Doh! Thanks. You know, I've been making that confabulation for years! (I suppose because of the similarity of the names and because Jackson also had very rocky relations with Congress.)
