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 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 has a list.
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.
There is also a Power Trio 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 that Bill Clinton played sax with them during that show.
Jonathan Coulton has two songs about them: One ("The Presidents") is simply their names and a small factoid about them, and the 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 this one from Animaniacs, and of course 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 IMDb.
For the action film, see 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.
