Senator Benjamin F. Wade is the answer. He was president pro tempore of the Senate. In those days, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate was next in line for president after the vice-president. Since there was no vice-president at this time , he was next in line after Johnson. He voted to convict Johnson and people noticed that there was a conflict of interest in the succession law- now the Speaker of the House is ahead of the president pro tempore and the conflict is removed.
