Best Answer

Chief Justice Salmon Chase presided over President Andrew Johnson's Senate trial, which lasted from March until mid-May 1868. The Senate voted three times on various articles of impeachment; each time, the count was 35-19, one vote short of conviction.

Johnson was acquitted of all charges because seven Republican Senators who would have voted against him defied their party and voted against removing him from office, due to their belief that the trial was one-sided and unfair.
