What was the outcome of Andrew Johnson trial?

Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1868, primarily for violating the Tenure of Office Act. However, he was acquitted by the Senate, falling just one vote short of the two-thirds majority needed for conviction. As a result, Johnson completed his term as president, remaining in office until 1869. The trial underscored the deep political divisions of the Reconstruction era but ultimately set a precedent for the limits of presidential impeachment.
