Andrew Johnson (December 29, 1808 –  July 31, 1875) was the 17th president of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. His main accomplishment as president was the Alaska purchase. In 1835, Johnson made a bid for election to the 'floater' seat which Greene County shared with neighboring Washington County in the Tennessee House of Representatives. Nevertheless, once Congress met in November, the Judiciary Committee reversed itself and passed a resolution of impeachment against Johnson. After much debate about whether anything the President had done was a high crime or misdemeanor, the standard under the Constitution, the resolution was defeated by the House of Representatives on December 7, 1867, by a vote of 57 in favor to 108 opposed.Johnson notified Congress of Stanton's suspension and Grant's interim appointment.
