When did Andrew Johnson escape conviction and removal from office?
In 1868, President Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives, but was acquitted by the Senate by a margin of one vote. The specific issue of impeachment was Johnson's continued effort to replace Secretary of War Edwin Stanton over the objections of the Senate, who had voted 35-16 to retain Stanton.
Behind the specific issue stood the real reason for Congress' displeasure with Johnson. Like General Grant and the late Abraham Lincoln whom Johnson had replaced, Johnson believed in treating the southern states with dignity and generosity, and in welcoming them back into the Union promptly.
Radical Republicans in Congress believed in treating the southern states with vicious political and economic punishment, and readmission to the Union only after a long period of humiliation that they called "reconstruction". Secretary Stanton was a staunch supporter of punitive reconstruction.
Accused of violating an act that Congress had enacted over Johnson's veto, an act specifically tailored to protect Republican favorites such as Stanton, Johnson was subjected to a 3-month long Senate trial before his acquittal. Stanton resigned shortly thereafter.

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 that the Southern military leaders would henceforth answer only to Congress, and not the President.
In August 1867, Johnson responded by attempting to fire Stanton and replace him with Ulysses S. Grant, but the Senate supported Stanton and refused to confirm Grant's appointment and reinstated Stanton against the President's wishes. In February 1868, Johnson appointed Lorenzo Thomas as the new Secretary of War and ordered the Southern military leaders to report directly to him.
Stanton refused to step down, instead barricading himself in his office where he lived for three days until the House of Representatives brought eleven Articles of impeachment against Andrew Johnson for "high crimes and misdemeanors," among them violating the Tenure of Office Act in defiance of the Senate. Other charges included violating the Command of the Army Act and libeling Congress with "inflammatory and scandalous harangues."
