The relationship between Congress and President Andrew Johnson was marked by significant conflict and tension. Johnson, a Southern Democrat who succeeded Abraham Lincoln, often clashed with the Republican-majority Congress over Reconstruction policies and civil rights for freed slaves. His frequent vetoes of key legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act and the Freedmen's Bureau, led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868, although he was acquitted by the Senate. This contentious dynamic reflected broader struggles over the direction of the Reconstruction era.
