For most of the time while Johnson was in office the congress was not even "seated" in 1865. When the congress did get back in session Johnson had already handled many of the problems at that time.

Is it possible for the party of the president and the majority party of the congress to be different parties?

Yes, but the majority party (not of congress- just what is considered the majority party according to laws) is determined by the executive branch aka the president.The most recent example, while Bush was still in office the democrats took control of Congress, but the majority party of the country was still considered Republican. Currently our President (Obama) as well as the majority of Congress are Democrat but if at their next election Congress shifts to a majority of Republicans the country's majority party would still be considered the Democrats, because of the presidentAdded: The initial answer is incorrect. The majority party in Congress is ALWAYS the numerically superior party, regardless of WHO the President is. The President has nothing whatsoever to do with naming the majority party, the voters decide who it will be by putting more members of one party in office, rather than the other.

Does the president need to sign legislation before it becomes law?

Yes, in the United States, the president must sign legislation for it to become law. After Congress passes a bill, it is sent to the president, who can either sign it into law or veto it. If the president vetoes the bill, Congress can still enact it by overriding the veto with a two-thirds majority in both chambers. Alternatively, if the president takes no action for ten days while Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law.
