Opps it was censure of Andrew Jackson. It was over his transfer of money to his friends banks. The Whig Party is the ones (Senate) that censured him, the new senate deemed the Censure not binding. Andrew Johnson after the Civil war was impeached. Sorry about getting Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson mixed about I will post what Andrew Johnson was impeached for though. But Andrew Jackson did leave a controversial legacy

Andrew Johnson impeachment 11 articles of impeachment passed by the H of R. In the senate he was acquitted. Office of Tenure Act - he discharged Edward Stanto without congressional approval. Later the Supreme Court was involved in the elimination of Tenure of Office Act. Once again sorry for the mix up of Johnson and Jackson. But Jackson was censured, but the new senate stripped it from the record.
