Because the Reconstruction plan he afforded to Southerners while Congress was adjourned was too generous by the Northern Republican's Standards.

Who controlled most of the rebuilding of the country during Reconstruction the President or Congress?
here's a blurb i found when trying to answer this same question for my homework:Radical Reconstruction, also known as Congressional Reconstruction, was the time when congressional Republicans, moderates and Radicals, controlled Reconstruction in the South. Prior to Republican control, Andrew Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction had allowed ex-Confederate leaders to regain power in southern state governments. He lost control over Reconstruction when congressional elections in the fall of 1866 led to a two-thirds majority of Republicans in both houses of Congress. When the Fortieth Congress returned in March 1867, presidential Reconstruction ended.Hope that helped you!!

The political climate in Washington D.C. during Reconstruction was highly contentious and marked by power struggles between Congress and President Andrew Johnson over the direction of Reconstruction policies. Congress, led by Radical Republicans, sought to ensure civil rights for newly freed slaves through measures such as the Reconstruction Acts and the 14th and 15th Amendments. However, President Johnson favored a more lenient approach towards the Southern states, leading to frequent clashes and ultimately contributing to his impeachment.
