President Johnson is no longer a serious obstacle to the passage of radical legislation, but he still is the person responsible for administering Reconstruction programs. The Radicals have little confidence in his motivation to do so and begin impeachment proceedings against the president over his firing a member of his cabinet without congressional approval, a violation of the Tenure of Office Act. He is impeached by the House of Representatives and brought to trial in the Senate where he escaped conviction by a single vote. .
