The US House of Representatives votes to impeach President Andrew Johnson. Here's some of his career highlights...

He gave a rambling speech when he has sworn in as vice president, but that was only because he was really drunk.

He secluded himself to avoid public ridicule after that rambling speech in which he was really drunk.

After becoming President, he tried to undo Southern Reconstruction and deprive freedmen of civil liberties.

He opposed the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted citizenship to former slaves.

He went on an unprecedented national tour in an attempt to promote his executive policies and destroy his political opponents.

He is regarded as one of the worst presidents ever, just behind James Buchanan. But hey, there's still time to see him move up the charts.
