Answer:

The House of Representatives impeached President Johnson because he removed Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War, from office. This violated the Tenure of Office Act. This act stated that the president could not remove anyone from office without the approval of the senate, which Johnson clearly violated. The outcome of the impeachment trial was that the senate let him remain in office; however he was charged with eleven high crimes and misdemeanors.
