WASHINGTON The list of presidents who have been impeached are as follows: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Donald Trump.
Donald John Trump on Wednesday became the first U.S. officeholder let alone president to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives. The vote took place exactly one week after he incited an insurrection at the Capitol and one week before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden .

The House voted 232-197 in favor of impeachment. Ten Republicans joined Democrats in voting to impeach, a record number for the presidents party.
The Republicans who voted for impeachment are Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.), John Katko (N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Fred Upton (Mich.), Dan Newhouse (Wash.), Peter Meijer (Mich.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), David Valadao (Calif.) and Tom Rice (S.C.).
Trump released a video statement after the vote, but he made no explicit mention of impeachment in it.
Mob violence goes against everything I believe in and everything our movement stands for, he said, dismissing the role he played in inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol last week. No true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence.
The article of impeachment charges Trump with incitement of insurrection. It is a single article, narrowly drafted by Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) while they were in lockdown during the Capitol riot.
The purpose of such a targeted impeachment resolution was to avoid the need for drawn-out hearings and witness testimony. Cicilline told reporters Wednesday morning that they had drafted the legislation to be very specific.
Theres overwhelming evidence of the presidents incitement, he said.
