History

Andrew Jackson was never impeached because the House of Representatives never passed a bill of impeachment against him. Nor, as far as I know, did they ever want to. (EDIT: See below.) You may be confusing him with President Andrew Johnson, who was the first President to be impeached. (There have been exactly two, him and Bill Clinton. Richard Nixon might have been, but he resigned before the House could act.) Johnson was in conflict with not only Congress but with members of his own Cabinet. In 1867, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act, which restricted the President from firing his own Cabinet members and other appointed officials without the advice and consent of the Senate. Johnson persisted in trying to dismiss Edwin Stanton, his Secretary of War, and the House passed a bill of impeachment against him as a result. The Senate, however, failed to convict him and remove him from office, by one vote. (To date, no President has been removed from office as a result of impeachment.) EDIT: Andrew Jackson was accused of certain gross Constitutional violations during his time in office, such as destroying the Second Bank of the United States, forceful relocation of Native Americans (as part of which he defied the Supreme Court), and declaring that states do not have the right to nullify Federal laws. While people may have in fact wanted him impeached over these actions, the fact remains that the House of Representatives never passed a bill of impeachment against him.
