He got impeached by the house, and was 17 votes away in the senate. I think he deserved to be impeached, but it was a partisan vote and only 5 democrat senators voted with the republicans.

Andrew Johnson was the only other person to ever been impeached. He missed it by 1 vote in the senate. His entire impeachment process was because radicals controlled the house and senate and they tried to make it so that the president couldn't replace cabinet members without their permission. The president basically told them to sit and spin. The SCOTUS later declared the Tenure act unconstitutional.
