Who replaced Andrew Johnson after impeachment?

Answer 1

President Andrew Johnson was never convicted; he was acquitted by a single vote, 35-19, following his Senate removal trial. Conviction requires a two-thirds super majority of the Senate, or 36 votes (at that time).

President Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives, meaning they brought charges against him, but the Senate failed to muster enough votes for conviction, so Johnson remained in office until the end of his Presidential term on March 4, 1869.

Johnson tried to get the Democratic Party endorsement for the 1868 Presidential election, but they declined, nominating former New York Governor Horatio Seymour, instead. The Radical Republicans nominated Ulysses S. Grant, who won 214 electoral votes to Seymour's 80. Thus, Grant succeeded Johnson by election, not because of Johnson's impeachment.

No one replaced Andrew Johnson; he kept his position as he was not convicted.

Answer 4

Johnson was impeached by the House but was not convicted in the Senate so he did not leave office but served out his term. Nobody needed to take his place.
