Did congress have a legitimate reason for impeaching Johnson?
Not really. The president is head of the executive branch of the government. The cabinet of a president is those who head the different departments of the executive branch. These department heads are called "secretaries". Secretaries are nominated for the job by the president, and confirmed by the Senate, meaning they get the job. Congress had passed a law called the Tenure of Office Act, which purported to make it a law that a president could not fire any of his department heads (secretaries) without approval of congress. So this was the legislative branch telling the executive branch that the executive branch could not manage its own affairs, and had to let the legislative branch interfere in such decisions. This would have meant that no president could demand loyalty from his cabinet secretaries - they would not have to do what the president ordered them to do, because he could not fire them unless he could get congress to sign off on it. This, as it turns out, was eventually ruled by the Supreme Court to be an unjustifiable interference by the legislative branch in the business of the executive branch. But at the time Johnson was impeached that ruling from the Supreme Court was still in the future. When Johnson fired one of his cabinet secretaries, a hold over from Lincoln's administration, this was made the basis for the charges in his impeachment.
Can the US president fire the Speaker of the House of Representatives?
No the US president does not have the authority to do so. One of the hallmarks of the Federal system is that the three branches of government are independent. So the president (executive branch), Congress (legislative branch), and judges (judicial branch) basically have no power over one another. Instead, there's a system where each branch has some authority over each other branch. For example, Congress can impeach (fire) the president or a judge in extreme cases. And a president can veto Congress's legislation. Just to make it clear: the president isn't the boss of anyone in Congress, on the courts, or state officials, etc. General speaking, the big-name offices that the president is boss of are Vice-President (though the president can't fire the vice pres), Secretary of ______, and the military.

Which is an advantage of Presidents being able to act on their own?
The Founding Fathers realized that one of the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation was its lack of an independent executive. The Constitution created an independent, strong executive branch. The powers listed in the Constitution dealing with the executive office are broad and vaguely described. As a result, the specific power in any given situation is left to interpretatation by the person holding the office of President at that time. The President, for example, can fire officials in the executive branch, make agreements with foreign nations, and issue executive orders, even though those powers may not be mentioned specifically in the Constitution. The President is Commander in Chief of the armed forces; he has the power to appoint; the President may pardon people convicted of a federal crime; the State of the Union address allows the President to set forth a legislative plan for his administration; and the President can call Congress into special session. The President can also use the media to get citizens to approve or disapprove of a governmental action. The President can also meet with leaders of Congress and with representatives of foreign nations, thus helping to establish domestic and foreign policies for the nation.
