He was the firs President brought to the bar of the Senate to answer the charge of high crimes and misdemeanors. Before Mr. Johnson's accession to the Presidency, and for a few months after his assumption of high office his policies were of the extreme Republican or Radical school. During the summer and autumn of 1865, Mr. Johnson undertook to restore the State Governments of the Commonwealths which had receded from and waged war against the national authority. This important task Mr. Johnson sought to accomplish on principles directly opposed to his previous political professions. The next movement toward impeachment grew out of a series of letters which had passed between President Johnson and General Grant in the surrender of the War Office by the latter to Secretary Stanton, in conformity with the action of the Senate. With the failure of the second attempt, those in favor of impeachment abandoned all hopes of their project ever succeeding. The impeachment of Andrew Johnson was initiated on February 24, 1868, when the United States House of Representatives resolved to impeach Andrew Johnson, the 17th president of the United States, for "high crimes and misdemeanors", which were detailed in 11 articles of impeachment. The primary charge against Johnson was that he had violated the Tenure of Office Act, passed by Congress in March 1867 over Johnson's veto. Specifically, he had removed from office Edwin Stanton, the secretary of war whom the act was largely designed to protect. Stanton often sided with the Radical Republican faction that passed the act, and Stanton did not have a good relationship with Johnson. Johnson attempted to replace Stanton with Brevet Major General Lorenzo Thomas. Earlier, while the Congress was not in session, Johnson had suspended Stanton and appointed General Ulysses S. Grant as secretary of war ad interim. Johnson became the first American president to be impeached on March 2-3, 1868, when the House formally adopted the articles of impeachment and forwarded them to the United States Senate for adjudication. The trial in the Senate began three days later, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase presiding. On May 16, the Senate did not convict Johnson on one of the articles, with the 35-19 vote in favor of conviction falling one vote short of the necessary two-thirds majority. A 10-day recess was called before attempting to convict him on additional articles. On May 26, the Senate did not convict the president on two articles, both by the same margin, after which the trial was adjourned without considering the remaining eight articles of impeachment. The impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson had important political implications for the balance of federal legislative-executive power. It maintained the principle that Congress should not remove the president from office simply because its members disagreed with him over policy, style, and administration of the office. It also resulted in diminished presidential influence on public policy and overall governing power, fostering a system of governance which future-President Woodrow Wilson referred to in the 1880s as "Congressional Government" The Senate was composed of 54 members representing 27 states (10 former Confederate states had not yet been readmitted to representation in the Senate) at the time of the trial. At its conclusion, senators voted on three of the articles of impeachment. On each occasion the vote was 35-19, with 35 senators voting guilty and 19 not guilty. As the constitutional threshold for a conviction in an impeachment trial is a two-thirds majority guilty vote, 36 votes in this instance, Johnson was not convicted. He remained in office through the end of his term on March 4, 1869, though as a lame duck without influence on public policy.

ANDREW JOHNSON (1808-1875). Johnson was the Seventeenth President. Letter. 2 pg. 8" x 10". July 28. 1868. Washington, D.C. A letter written on behalf of "A. Johnson" to "Gentlemen" declining an invitation to a banquet celebrating the birthday of a mutual friend. As Johnson disdained handwriting, this is in the handwriting of a secretary. In giving the reason for declining the invitation, President Johnson cites "I regret exceedingly that my labors on behalf of an imperiled constitution will deprive me of the pleasure of paying due honors to your distinguished guest". For Johnson, going to the banquet would be gratifying since he and the guest are self-made men: "I love greatly to pay tribute to a self made man - a self made man myself having risen from the position of an alderman in my native village through the various grades of state legislator Governor of my native state, representatives in Congress, Senator, Vice President to the humble position I now hold as President of a great and glorious republic?Permit me to thank you gentlemen, for your kind invitation and the opportunity it thus affords me to pay my humble tribute to a self-man made". Johnson then concludes the letter by returning to his theme of an imperiled country: "Believe me, that pressing official duties alone prevent me from meeting around your festive band and raising my humble voice in offering a toast to that sacred and much violated instrument, the great work of our revolution of sires, a record which we are all bound to love and obey - the Constitution". That year, President Johnson survived removal by the United States Senate by one vote over violations of the Tenure of Office Act, the culmination of a running feud with Radical Republicans in Congress over Reconstruction and civil rights for blacks. A list of the gentlemen addressed in the letter is given on the left side of the first page. The letter is in fine condition and an excellent example of Andrew Johnson's mindset.
