Andrew Johnson

Andrew Johnson succeeded President Abraham Lincoln on April 15, 1865, following Lincoln's assassination by John Wilkes Booth.

Many historians consider Andrew Jackson a Founding Father because he was in the revolutionary war as a child. He was also one the first presidents. I do not consider him to be a founding father however.

because they are the ones who cheak over and make sure that it is ok with everyone to put out this law

The action that Congress took against Johnson after he violated the Tenure of Office Act was that they impeached him.

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.

Andrew Johnson was impeached for firing Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, in violation of the 1867 Tenure of Office Act. The Act provided an official who had been appointed to office with the "advice and consent" of the Senate could only be removed with the permission of the Senate.

He was not highly ranked as a president. He took office only because Lincoln was killed . He did not have any power base of his own and the people who had been influential in Lincoln's administration refused to relinquish their power. Moreover, Johnson was seen as a Southern sympathizer when he tried to stop those who wanted to punish the rebels rather than bringing them back into the union. In short, he did not get much done, but he was put into an almost impossible situation.

No- the vote was 126 to 47 in favor of impeachment.

Johnson's big problems with Congress erupted when he fired the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. Stanton refused to vacate his office and barricaded it up for about two months until finally resigning after Johnson was acquited of impeachment charges.

It was andrew JACKSON, and he ignored the ruling of Supreme Court leader John Marshall when he decided that the Cherokee Indians couldn't be forcibly removed from their land in Central Georgia. He sent the army to forcibly relocate them to Oklahoma, the journey known as the Trail of Tears.

Lincoln had a cabinet of seven members - 13 different men served at one time or another.

All of the above

President Andrew Johnson was acquitted by one vote in his Senate impeachment trial. The final tally, after three successive attempts to sway the Senators' opinions, was 35-19. The Senate needed 36 votes to attain the two-thirds super majority required for conviction.

There were two US Presidents by the name of Johnson: Andrew Johnson, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Chances are, you are asking about the latter. During the Presidency of LBJ, the US was deeply divided over the Vietnam War, and many young people felt alienated from American society. It was a time of tremendous cultural upheaval and political turmoil.

The Democrats held a majority of the seats in both houses of Congress.

Only two US Presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson (1868) and Bill Clinton (1998). Both were acquitted at their Senate trials.

In a word, antagonistic. Johnson got almost no support from Congress. Indeed, he was impeached by the House, and just one Senator less than 2/3 of the Senators voted to remove him from office. Johnson was from Tennessee and was viewed as a Confederate sympathizer, which to some extent he was. Unlike much of Congress, he did not want to punish the South further for their revolt.

President Andrew Johnson was from Tennessee and liked the South.

He was a highly successful young lawyer until his brothers were captured by the British and became prisoners of war. Jackson became a war general and helped America win the Battle of New Orleans and the War of 1812. He stayed a war hero until his election to presidency in 1827.

Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached. He escaped conviction by just one vote.

The trial was held in the Senate chamber of the US Capitol building in Washington, DC.

Senator Benjamin F. Wade is the answer. He was president pro tempore of the Senate. In those days, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate was next in line for president after the vice-president. Since there was no vice-president at this time , he was next in line after Johnson. He voted to convict Johnson and people noticed that there was a conflict of interest in the succession law- now the Speaker of the House is ahead of the president pro tempore and the conflict is removed.

Not very well; they did everything in their power to prevent him from exercising the Executive powers of President because they saw him as a Southern sympathizer. Congress voted to reduce the number of seats on the Supreme Court during Johnson's presidency to prevent him from nominating a justice; they also impeached Johnson and attempted to remove him from office for reasons as diverse as violating the 1867 Tenure of Office Act to libeling Congress.
