Neither were impeached.

The Senate votes to impeach and did not do so in either case.

Discuss why OP has such poor knowledge of history.

Impeachment is performed by the House

It is not a removal of office until a conviction is reached in the Senate

Are you ashamed at how embarrassing it is to be so wrong. I would porn bomb out after this honestly.

They were impeached. They were not convicted.

Reading is fundamental. You should try it sometime.

Not only are your statements incorrect, they're blatantly wrong.

The Democrat Underground is not a reliable source for factual information.

However, the only US President to leave office because of the power of impeachment was a Republican.

No Republican has been impeached or removed from office from articles of impeachment

Richard Nixon knew how to count votes. After the smoking gun tape came out he had about 15 Senators not willing to convict in the Senate. It was a fait accompli.

You know full well the only reason Nixon resigned was that he was going to be impeached within 24hrs.

Your OP was also poorly worded given the context since apparently the Democrats in your example were very good at holding onto office.

Odd that Johnson was a Democrat when Lincoln was a Republican. He was impeached because he was not hard enough on the south. I can't say he was a bad person unlike Clinton. Johnson was only impeached because the Republicans in Congress were assholes.

Some of it is actually accepting responsibility...

Except Nixon did not admit wrongdoing. He only resigned because he was going to be impeached.

He didn't accept responsibility for anything.

And the only U.S. President to leave office (alive) before his term had ended was a Republican. What's your point?

Uh...if we are playing the party game...then the goal posts aren't being moved.

To date, 1 president has been forced out of office. And he didn't play for the D's
