Answer

Impeachment efforts in Congress have varied, but historically, most impeachment attempts have not resulted in the removal of the official from office. Only three U.S. presidents—Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump—have been impeached by the House of Representatives, but none were convicted and removed by the Senate. Impeachment outcomes depend on various factors, including political dynamics, public opinion, and the strength of the evidence presented.
