Three American presidents were impeached. However, there was no president who stepped down because of impeachment. American President Nixon was the closest to being impeached, but Nixon chose to resign before the impeachment was successful, so American President Nixon became the only president who resigned because of impeachment in American history. Of course, President Nixon was impeached because of Watergate. The three impeached presidents were Johnson, Nixon and Clinton.

American President Bill Clinton was impeached mainly for misconduct. At that time, US President Bill Clinton had an affair with the White House intern. So this incident also caused a huge debate in the United States at that time. This also made US President Bill Clinton the third president to be impeached in American history. However, because the impeachment was unsuccessful, US President Bill Clinton did not step down.

American President Nixon was impeached because of Watergate, but at that time, American President Nixon chose to resign. In fact, we can see that impeaching the president of the United States is not that easy. Although the House of Representatives can propose a bill to impeach the President of the United States, it must be passed by the Senate. Once the Senate opposes it, it will make the impeachment bill of the president of the United States unsuccessful. Therefore, it can also reflect the deep feud between the US Senate and House of Representatives.

Therefore, it is impossible for the president of the United States to be impeached now. This is because once the talks are successful, it will have a great impact on the domestic economy of the United States, because the president of the United States has vigorously developed the economy and greatly changed the lives of the American people.
