Did congress have a legitimate reason for impeaching Johnson?

Not really. The president is head of the executive branch of the government. The cabinet of a president is those who head the different departments of the executive branch. These department heads are called "secretaries". Secretaries are nominated for the job by the president, and confirmed by the Senate, meaning they get the job. Congress had passed a law called the Tenure of Office Act, which purported to make it a law that a president could not fire any of his department heads (secretaries) without approval of congress. So this was the legislative branch telling the executive branch that the executive branch could not manage its own affairs, and had to let the legislative branch interfere in such decisions. This would have meant that no president could demand loyalty from his cabinet secretaries - they would not have to do what the president ordered them to do, because he could not fire them unless he could get congress to sign off on it. This, as it turns out, was eventually ruled by the Supreme Court to be an unjustifiable interference by the legislative branch in the business of the executive branch. But at the time Johnson was impeached that ruling from the Supreme Court was still in the future. When Johnson fired one of his cabinet secretaries, a hold over from Lincoln's administration, this was made the basis for the charges in his impeachment.


Can the US president fire the Speaker of the House of Representatives?

No the US president does not have the authority to do so. One of the hallmarks of the Federal system is that the three branches of government are independent. So the president (executive branch), Congress (legislative branch), and judges (judicial branch) basically have no power over one another. Instead, there's a system where each branch has some authority over each other branch. For example, Congress can impeach (fire) the president or a judge in extreme cases. And a president can veto Congress's legislation. Just to make it clear: the president isn't the boss of anyone in Congress, on the courts, or state officials, etc. General speaking, the big-name offices that the president is boss of are Vice-President (though the president can't fire the vice pres), Secretary of ______, and the military.


What if the President had the power to fire justices of the Supreme Court if he disagreed with a ruling they made?

If the President had the power to fire Supreme Court justices for disagreeing with their rulings, it could undermine the independence of the judiciary and threaten the system of checks and balances in the government. This could lead to a concentration of power in the executive branch and potentially erode the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
