TaigaThe Tenure of Office Act was when the Congress overrided President Johnson's veto during reconstruction. It stated that the president could not remove a government official without the Congress' approval. This was deemed unconstitutional though, because the congress had too much power and was violating the 5th (I think) amendment. President Johnson however removed the Secretary of War, leading himself into a 3 month trial and almost getting impeached (removed from presidency)
