∙ 13y agoPresident Johnson's impeachment trial ended when, on three of the eleven charges relating to the Tenure of Office Act, he was found not guilty by a vote of 35 guilty to 19 not guilty (remember that a 2/3 majority is needed to convict - 35-19 is one vote short.) The trial then adjourned - votes were not taken on the remaining 8 charges. He was not removed from office.
