Answer:
President Johnson deserved to be removed from office because he violated current legislation.
Explanation:
Johnson was impeached on February 24, 1868 by the United States House of Representatives. The reason for the impeachment was Johnson's violation of the felony and misdemeanor law. Under this law the president could only remove individuals from office in the executive cabinet if the senate agreed to the dismissal. Johnson dismissed Edwin M. Stanton without consulting the Senate and therefore violated a law and deserved to be ousted as president.
