Unimpeachable

On May 16, 1868, the U.S. Senate failed by just one vote to convict President Andrew Johnson of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” as he was charged under the articles of impeachment. A second vote, taken on May 26, also fell short, by just one vote, of the two-thirds majority required to convict the president.
