Final answer:

President Andrew Johnson was impeached but acquitted, not removed from office.


Explanation:

Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1867 for disobeying the Tenure of Office Act but was acquitted by a narrow margin in the Senate, falling one vote short of being removed from office. The impeachment of President Johnson did not result in his removal from the presidency, making him the first U.S. president to be impeached but avoid conviction.
