The Congress first overrode a presidential veto - that is, passed a bill into law notwithstanding the President's objections - on March 3, 1845.
Reconstruction began with the close of the American Civil War, May 1865. Immediately following the close of the war, Congress passed 14 Stat. 27-30. President Johnson vetoed the law twice, however both the House and Senate overrode the veto with a two-thirds majorit and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was enacted into law 9 April 1866.
The law that was enacted after Congress overrode President Andrew Johnson's veto with a two-thirds majority was the Civil Rights Act of 1866. This legislation aimed to protect the civil rights of African Americans, ensuring their citizenship and granting them equal protection under the law. It marked a significant step towards civil rights during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War.
President Andrew Johnson did not support the Civil Rights Act of 1866 primarily because he held a more lenient view toward the Southern states following the Civil War and sought to restore their political power quickly. He believed that the federal government should not intervene in state matters regarding civil rights. Additionally, Johnson's sympathy for Southern interests and his opposition to the Radical Republicans in Congress led him to veto the bill, although Congress later overrode his veto to enact it.
