Andrew Johnson was impeached, and missed being removed from office because during the trial the Senate kept voting 35-19 for his removal (36-18 was needed for the 2/3 vote). At that time 10 states were not represented in the Senate.

So it was similar to Clinton's impeachment only Clinton didn't skate by one vote?
