When Andrew Johnson was impeached in May of 1868 when he removed Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who had been retained after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The Radical Republicans in an effort to keep Edwin Stanton in office passed the Tenure of Office Act, which required the consent of the Senate for the President to remove a federal official from office. When Johnson removed Stanton from office anyway the impeachment trial began on the grounds that he had broken the Tenure of Office Act, becoming the first President of the United States to ever be impeached. In the end he retained his office, just shy one vote from being removed from office.
