Impeachment of Andrew Johnson

The Same Result

Tuesday May 26, 1868
Washington D.C., U.S.

During the hiatus, under Butler's leadership, the House put through a resolution to investigate alleged "improper or corrupt means used to influence the determination of the Senate". Despite the Radical Republican leadership's heavy-handed efforts to change the outcome, when votes were cast on May 26 for the second and third articles, the results were the same as the first.
