Andrew Johnson

The main official reason was his violation of a tenure in office law which he was charged with breaking when he fired his Secretary of War, Edward Stanton. There were a lot of people in Congress that wanted him out of office and were looking for some reason to get him out. He was unpopular because, like Lincoln , he did not want to punish the defeated southern states, but rather to take them back into the union as seamlessly as possible....

The President of the United States is the official head of the United States Government. Unlike the Queen of England and U.K., which is an hereditary, mostly figurehead position (nowadays), POTUS is not. The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, he has the power to send troops to anywhere in the world for a limited period of time, may also call into federal service the state units of the National Guard. In times of war or national emergency, the Congress...

Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were both impeached. Since some people think" impeached" means canned, sacked, fired, or given the boot. I will just clarify here that the act of impeaching is strictly a House of Representatives action. It is the House indicting the person for possible dissmissal . The trial is then held by the Senate. Neither Johnson or Clinton were convicted, so both remained in office. Other federal officials besides the President can be impeached by the House and tried by...

Clinton was impeached by The House Of Representatives, because of allegedly lying about a sexual encounter he had with a junior member of the White House staff. What really got him into trouble was lying about it under oath. He was acquitted of the charge by the Senate. For more information see related link - added below. ...

On May 16, 1868, the Senate made three attempts to remove Johnson from office on charges of violating the Tenure of Office Act (among other things), but each time he was acquitted by a single vote (35-19). That one vote was cast by Senator Edmund Ross. He voted his conscience, but destroyed his political career in the process. He later stated that as he was about to vote he looked down into his own grave. Johnson completed his Presidential term and left...

President Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, but never removed from office. The Tenure of Office Act prohibited the President from firing any official who had been placed in office with the "advice and consent" of the Senate unless the Senate also approved the removal. President Johnson wanted to replace Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton, whom Lincoln had appointed Secretary of War in 1862. Stanton had informed the President that the military chain of command had been changed, and...

I would say surely not in the sense that he was such a terrible administrator or derelict in his duties. But maybe he should have had a better political sense and seen that impeachment was coming if he did not make a better effort to placate the impeachment forces. Maybe there was nothing he could do but then, perhaps a president who by no real fault of his own is unable to lead effectively deserves to be impeached. ...

I do not think they had any special hatred for him. He was elected a Senator from his home state of Tennessee after the war ended. As the president of the conquering foe, some rebels may have hated him just because of that. ...

Patrick, A very good question! I would say that they were all men of high honor. Most of them lived lives of such personal probity that would make most people today ashamed in comparison. They were all committed to the idea of individual liberty. They thought people had certain natural rights and that it was wrong to interfere with their exercise of those rights. That was a truly revolutionary idea for the time. Furthermore they were so dedicated to that idea that...

Ulysses S. Grant was the US President after Andrew Johnson. Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th President of the United States from 1869 March 4 to 1877 March 4. Grant was a former military general for the Union during the civil war. Much of the votes that US Grant received were based on his performance in the US Civil War. There were two Presidents Johnson.

In both cases they were acquitted and allowed to remain in office.
