Edwin M. Stanton was fired from his position as Secretary of War.
Not really, he was a Southerner who stayed with the Union, and this meant that neither side felt he was worth trusting. That probably led to his 1868 impeachment.
Andrew Johnson
He was a tailor.
Impeachment of Man was created in 1959.
Andrew Johnson was the next president after Abe Lincoln was shot Andrew Johnson was the 17th president.
He was not at all connected to the murderers, but the plot to kill Lincoln also included the killing of Andrew Johnson, but the man who was supposed to kill Johnson had second thoughts and did not carry out his assignment.
Edwin M. Stanton was the Secretary of War under Lincoln that Johnson removed from office.
Vice-President Andrew Johnson
I remember him as an honest public servant who was fell into an impossible position but did the best he could to do the right thing. I admire him considerably more than I do the leaders of Congress who impeached him. Of course, I am not history and am not sure that I can speak for her.
Johnson, after being impeached by the House, escaped being found guilty by one vote in the Senate, and therefore was able to remain President and serve out his term of office. The act on which his impeachment was based and which he violated was later declared unconstitutional as Johnson said it should be. Another consequence was that the succession of the presidency was changed to put the Senate pro temp behind the Speaker of the House. In Johnson's day, the Senate pro tempore would have become President if Johnson was removed and the man voted to oust Johnson- a clear case of conflict of interest.
yes- Johnson was totally unharmed. . The man who was supposed to kill Johnson backed out of his assignment did not make any attempt to kill Johnson.
No, it was John Wilkes Booth who shot Lincoln.
