Just to be clear on the definition, “impeached” doesn’t mean “removed from office”. To say someone was impeached just means that the House held a hearing.
Clinton was impeached even though he wasn’t removed and completed his term. Same with Trump, though it happened twice.
Nixon was NOT impeached since he resigned before the house could open hearings.
The House is responsible for impeachment, and did so twice. The Senate is responsible for holding a trial, and failed to hold Trump accountable for either impeachment even though Republicans publicly admitted he was guilty.
I’m not well versed in the structure of the american political system.
Did he actually get impeached twice or was it just raised for a vote twice?

He actually got impeached twice. Never got voted out of office though.

So he’s twice impeached, but without consequence.
