    President Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 for violating the Tenure of Office Act, though he was later acquitted. His impeachment impacted Reconstruction by weakening the presidency and allowing Congress to take control of the process. It also reduced the power of future presidents by establishing that Congress could hold the president accountable through impeachment for disagreements over policy.
