It was my understanding that only two presidents went through impeachment and that's Nixon and Clinton. I never heard anything about Johnson.

As I understand it, NO President has ever been impeached. There have been impeachment trials, but no President has ever been impeached. Like Firstdown said, Nixon's impeachment was inevitable, so he resigned beforehand.
