1 12/8 TOTD: Pres. Andrew Johnson was the 1st impeached president in American history. He was charged with violating the Tenure of Office Act for removing Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War. The Tenure of Office Act stated that a president could not dismiss appointed officials without the consent of Congress.
