How many presidents have faced impeachment as of the text (including Donald Trump)?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (C)

Impeachment is the process by which the House charges a president with misconduct, and it doesn’t itself remove a president from office—the Senate must convict by a two‑thirds vote to remove. Four presidents have faced impeachment: Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, Richard Nixon who faced impeachment proceedings and resigned in 1974, and Donald Trump who was impeached twice (in 2019 and 2021). Counting Nixon’s impeachment proceedings and Trump’s two impeachments as one president, the total number is four.
