"The most recent was the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump." "What does impeachment mean? Impeachment means charging a public official with misconduct. Like in the justice system, charges alone do not lead to consequences. Instead, there is a trial, during which the official is convicted or acquitted." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impeachment_investigations_of_United_States_federal_officials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impeachment_investigat... While there have been demands for the impeachment of most presidents, only three — Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1999 and Donald Trump in 2019— have actually been impeached. A second impeachment of Donald Trump was adopted, making him the first US President to be impeached twice.

Disclaimer: IANAL. I reiterate that "impeached" means to be convicted of charges levied in (an) article(s) of impeachment. Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1[1] of the Constitution (also cited in your links) states (emphasis mine): >[The President] shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. For there to even be a question of a presidential pardon applying to impeachments that necessitated such a clause, being impeached implies being convicted. The Justice Department considers pardons without convictions as "highly unusual"[2]. I thus reiterate: There has never been an impeached President to date, and the use of the term "impeached" to mean a President merely tried for impeachment is very misleading. Again, you don't call someone merely tried for (let alone acquitted of) murder a murderer. Disclaimer: IANAL.
