Prior to President Johnsons withdrawal from the election (March 31st 1968) his primary opponents for the Democratic nomination were... Robert F Kennedy Eugene McCarthy Hubert Humphrey George McGovern
Several moderate Republicans voted for a verdict of not guilty because they did not believe a president should be removed from office for political differences thus, as a result Johnson stayed in office until the end of his term in March 1869.The Senate voted to acquit President Johnson of the charges against him; therefore he was not removed as president. The vote for acquittal passed by only one vote.
