You must be referring to Pres. Andrew Johnson, because Pres. Lyndon Johnson was very well known for being EXTREMELY persuasive when he had something that he wanted Congress to pass.
Andrew Johnson was a Democrat from Tennessee before he became Lincoln's running mate. Although his ideology differed from that of the Republican Party, he was asked to be Lincoln's running mate for the 1864 presidential election in the interest of restoring national unity. Together they ran as the "National Union Party." Of course nobody was planning on the assassination of the President (except perhaps the assassin).
Congress, which had an extreme Republican majority due to most of the southerners either withdrawing or being expelled at the beginning of the war, was itching to find a reason to impeach Johnson long before he allegedly violated federal law by firing one of his Cabinet members.
