Andrew Johnson

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.

cheese

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.

yes

Andrew Johnson was a republican.

No. George Washington, the first President, was born in Virginia. If you mean was Andrew Jackson born in the United States, the answer is still 'no',since he was born in 1767, before independence was declared. In fact he fought in the Revolutionary War,as best he could, since was he still very young.

He was a US Senator from TN when war broke out and TN seceded from the Union. Johnson stayed on and kept his seat in the Senate. After Tennessee was recaptured by union forces, Lincoln appointed him to be the military governor of the state and he held that post until he ran for vice-president as Lincoln running mate,

yes

('Because they could' doesn't service).

The same day President Johnson issued a pardon, he issued another proclamation for North Carolina. (Became a model of how he wanted to restore South back into the Union). Under it, each former confederate state had to call a convention to revoke its ordinance of secession, ratify 13th amendment, and reject all Civil War debts.

Most met these conditions. However, many members of congress were angered when they realized that Southern voters elected former Confederate officers and political leaders. Many found it bad and unacceptable so they decided to reject the new Southern members of congress.
