President Andrew Johnson's most serious and indictable offense was his violation of the Tenure of Office Act in 1867. He attempted to remove Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War, from his position and replace him with Lorenzo Thomas without congressional approval. This action led to Johnson's impeachment by the House of Representatives, though he was ultimately acquitted by the Senate and remained in office. The impeachment highlighted the intense political conflict of the Reconstruction era.
