Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act in 1867 to limit President Andrew Johnson's power by restricting his ability to remove certain officeholders without Senate approval. The law aimed to protect members of Johnson's cabinet, particularly Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who opposed Johnson's policies. Johnson's violation of this act by attempting to dismiss Stanton led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives.
