What tool of the presidency did Johnson use to try to stop Congress and stricter plan for Reconstruction?

President Andrew Johnson used the veto power as a tool of the presidency to oppose Congress's more stringent Reconstruction plans. He vetoed key legislation, including the Freedmen's Bureau Bill and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, believing they infringed on states' rights and were too punitive toward the South. His vetoes were often overridden by Congress, leading to a significant conflict between the executive and legislative branches. This struggle ultimately contributed to his impeachment in 1868.

How did president Andrew Jackson misuse the Constitutional system of checks and balances?

President Lincoln had a Republican Congress that acted...well, like Republicans. Whether one thinks acting like a Republican is a good thing or a bad one is not the issue here. Lincoln had two vice-presidents. Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, was one of them. After Lincoln was assassinated, Congress passed over Johnson's veto the Tenure of Office Act, which prohibited a president from firing any cabinet officer appointed by the last president without the consent of Congress. Johnson removed the secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, in violation of the Tenure of Office Act. This caused the Republicans in Congress to try to remove President Johnson.
