Presidents have been impeached four times: Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, Donald Trump in 2019, and Donald Trump (again) in 2021. All four cases resulted in acquittals.

Despite what ''[[Histeria!]]'' may have said about his being President for one day between Polk and Taylor, any attempts to put [[wikipedia:David Rice Atchison|David Rice Atchison]] on this list will be laughed off in the traditional manner.
Before [[George Washington]], 14 men held the (largely ceremonial) position of President of the Continental Congress. [[The Other Wiki]] [[w:President of the Continental Congress|has a list]].
There is also a band called The Presidents of the United States of America, however nobody that has ever served as POTUSA has been so far a member of the band. However, the band members did a parody of the Presidential race in which each member had a campaign video to be elected President...of the Presidents. They did play at the White House, by Chelsea Clinton's request, though. Rumor has it, Bill Clinton played sax with them during that show.▼
In the interest of equal time, it should be mentioned that [[Jefferson Davis]] was the only President of the Confederate States of America; he served at the same time as [[Abraham Lincoln]].

[[Jonathan Coulton]] has two songs about them: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdUUywIsIGI One] ("The Presidents") is simply their names and a small factoid about them, and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDqCP5kQIbo other] ("Washy Ad Jeffy") is a mnemonic device designed to help you remember their names and how many terms they served (by way of the number of syllables in the name). Other songs include [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvy0wRLD5s8 this one] from [[Animaniacs]], and of course [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GKykZ5zmqU this one] from the band The Presidents of the United States of America. For a list of actors who have played the presidents, look no further than [http://www.imdb.com/list/34uTS97fGoM/ IMDb].
For the action film, see ''[[Dead Presidents (film)|Dead Presidents]]''. For the much-desired ''pictures'' of dead presidents (plus [[Alexander Hamilton]] and [[Benjamin Franklin]], who were too controversial and too old, respectively, to ever be President), see [[American Currency]]. For other Presidents, see [[The Presidents]].
