The U.S. house of representatives votes II articles of impeachment against president Andrew Johnson, nine of which cite Johnson's removal of secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, a violation of the Tenure of Office Act. The house vote made President Johnson first president to be impeached in U.S. history.

Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 because he decided to dismiss Edwin M. Stanton (a radical Republican) and appoint Ulysses S. Grant in his place as secretary of war.
