Impeachment of Andrew Johnson - Johnson's Opponents in Congress

Time: Feb, 1868

Place: Washington D.C, U.S.

Details: Johnson's opponents in Congress were outraged by his actions; the president's challenge to congressional authority—with regard to both the Tenure of Office Act and post-war reconstruction—had, in their estimation, been tolerated for long enough.
