Only one governor has been impeached. Some say he should be unimpeached.

ALBANY The name of former Gov. William Sulzer, who briefly ruled Albany more than a century ago, generally finds its way into conversations on two specific occasions. One is whenever an incumbent governor is accused of some serious misdeed. Sulzer remains the only of New York s 56 governors to have ever been impeached.

The other occasion is when somebody visits the Capitol’s Hall of Governors.
