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.

Barack Obama is a centrist Democrat. His main opposition comes from the other major political party, the Republicans. Some Republicans, who are fiscally conservative, oppose him because of his economic policies. Other Republicans, who are socially conservative, oppose him because of his support for marriage equality (gay marriage) and his belief that insurance plans should cover contraception for women. It should also be noted that Mr. Obama has some opposition in his own party, from progressive Democrats who believe he is too much of a centrist, and wish his policies were more liberal.
