The House of Representatives impeached Johnson by a vote of 126-47, mostly cast along party lines, with the Radical Republicans demanding impeachment.
Johnson was acquitted at his Senate trial, where the vote was taken three times in an effort to resolve the 35-19 deadlock that was one vote short of conviction. Although the Radical Republicans held enough seats for conviction, several members crossed the aisle and voted to acquit the President because they didn't like the way the impeachment and trial was handled.
