Who replaced Andrew Johnson after impeachment?

President Andrew Johnson was never convicted; he was acquitted by a single vote, 35-19, following his Senate removal trial. Conviction requires a two-thirds super majority of the Senate, or 36 votes (at that time).President Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives, meaning they brought charges against him, but the Senate failed to muster enough votes for conviction, so Johnson remained in office until the end of his Presidential term on March 4, 1869.Johnson tried to get the Democratic Party endorsement for the 1868 Presidential election, but they declined, nominating former New York Governor Horatio Seymour, instead. The Radical Republicans nominated Ulysses S. Grant, who won 214 electoral votes to Seymour's 80. Thus, Grant succeeded Johnson by election, not because of Johnson's impeachment.


Who did Ulysses S Grant run against?

His opponent in 1868 was Horatio Seymour from New York. In 1872 Horace Greeley, also from New York, ran against him. (Greeley died after the popular election but before the electoral college voted, so it might have been legally interesting if Greeley had won. )Victoria Woodhull also ran in 1872, but she was too young to be president, did not appear on any ballots and did not get any votes, so some doubt that she was a serious candidate.
