Presidential ImpeachmentsA group of three tickets, from the impeachment trials of Andrew Johnson, and William Jefferson Clinton. Washington, D.C., 1868 and 1999 3 tickets (Johnson [1 ticket]: 74 x 88 mm; Clinton [2 tickets]: 65 x 140 mm). Printed on blue and yellow card, and dated 23 April 1868 and 28 January 1999 respectively. One Johnson and one Clinton ticket matted, framed, and glazed together; not examined out of frame. In March of 1868, Andrew Johnson became the first American president to be impeached. Johnson was charged with violating the Tenure of Office Act, passed by Congress the previous year over Johnson's veto. Specifically, Johnson had removed Secretary of War Edwin Stanton—whom the act was largely designed to protect—from office. Johnson was acquitted by the U.S. Senate, and remained in office. In December of 1998, Bill Clinton became the second American president to face impeachment. Clinton was charged with lying under oath, and obstruction of justice. He was also acquitted by the U.S. Senate and remained in office.
