The impeachment of President Andrew Johnson was primarily due to:
**C** a struggle between Congress and the President over governmental power.
Johnson's presidency was marked by significant conflict with Congress, particularly regarding Reconstruction policies and his opposition to the more radical elements within Congress. The immediate cause of his impeachment was his violation of the Tenure of Office Act by attempting to remove Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War, which was seen as a challenge to Congressional authority.
