16 May 1868 - US PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON ESCAPES CONVICTION BY ONE
VOTE: Having impeached Andrew Johnson three months earlier, the US
Congress fails to convict the president of 'high crimes and
misdemeanors' stemming from his refusal to go along with Civil War
Reconstruction. A Senate trial acquits the first US president ever
impeached of all charges.

The impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson had important political
implications for the balance of federal legislative-executive power. It
maintained the principle that Congress should not remove the president
from office simply because its members disagreed with him over policy,
style, and administration of the office. It also resulted in diminished
presidential influence on public policy and overall governing power,
fostering a system of governance which future-President Woodrow Wilson
referred to in the 1880s as "Congressional Government".
