Trump is First President to Face Two Separate Impeachment Efforts

  President Trump is the only president to face not just one, but two impeachment efforts. Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton all faced impeachment efforts. More than one alleged offense was involved in the Clinton impeachment. Still, it was a single impeachment effort.
  Donald Trump faced two. One, with the Mueller Report, and one with the Ukraine affair.
   In both the Nixon and Clinton cases, formal proceedings were initiated in the House. That didn't happen with the first effort against Trump, as Nancy Pelosi declined to pursue impeachment. Still, Mueller's investigation was part of the process that brings impeachment. The impeachment process was underway. Trump faced two separate efforts, something no other president has ever faced.
