Impeachment of Andrew Johnson

The Senate Adopted a Resolution of Non-Concurrence with Stanton's Dismissal

Dec, 1867
Washington, D.C. , U.S.

When the Senate adopted a resolution of non-concurrence with Stanton's dismissal in December 1867, Grant told Johnson he was going to resign, fearing punitive legal action. Johnson assured Grant that he would assume all responsibility in the matter, and asked him to delay his resignation until a suitable replacement could be found.
