<P> Actual impeachments of 19 federal officers have taken place . Of these, 15 were federal judges: thirteen district court judges, one court of appeals judge (who also sat on the Commerce Court), and one Supreme Court Associate Justice . Of the other four, two were Presidents, one was a Cabinet secretary, and one was a U.S. Senator . Of the 19 impeached officials, eight were convicted . One, former judge Alcee Hastings, was elected as a member of the United States House of Representatives after being removed from office . </P> <P> The 1797 impeachment of Senator William Blount of Tennessee stalled on the grounds that the Senate lacked jurisdiction over him . No other member of Congress has ever been impeached . The Constitution does give authority to the Senate and House, so that each body may expel its own members . (see List of United States senators expelled or censured and List of United States Representatives expelled, censured, or reprimanded). Expulsion removes the individual from functioning as a representative or senator because of their misbehavior, but unlike impeachment, expulsion cannot result in barring an individual from holding future office . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> #</Th> <Th> Date of Impeachment </Th> <Th> Accused </Th> <Th> Office </Th> <Th> Accusation (s) </Th> <Th> Result </Th> <Th> References </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> July 7, 1797 </Td> <Td> William Blount </Td> <Td> United States Senator (Tennessee) </Td> <Td> Conspiring to assist Britain in capturing Spanish territory </Td> <Td> Senate refused to accept impeachment of a Senator by the House of Representatives, instead expelling him from the Senate on their own authority </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> March 2, 1803 </Td> <Td> John Pickering </Td> <Td> Judge (District of New Hampshire) </Td> <Td> Drunkenness and unlawful rulings </Td> <Td> Removed on March 12, 1804 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> March 12, 1804 </Td> <Td> Samuel Chase </Td> <Td> Associate Justice (Supreme Court of the United States) </Td> <Td> Political bias and arbitrary rulings, promoting a partisan political agenda on the bench </Td> <Td> Acquitted on March 1, 1805 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> April 24, 1830 </Td> <Td> James H.
