'''Andrew Johnson''' was the 17th [[President of the United States of America]]. He was the first president to be [[impeachment|impeached]] by [[Congress]], but he was not removed from office, keeping his tenure in office by one vote. The reason for impeachment was his violation of the Tenure of Office Act, which denied him the power to dismiss presidential appointees without the Senate's permission.
