What is the difference between presidential and congressional reconstruction?

Congressional Reconstruction restricted eligibility for participation in the state constitutional conventions in the South. Presidential Reconstruction was run by the president.

They also in turn took over and named there plan Congressional reconstruction. Therefore Congress made Congresional Reconstruction and The president made presidential reconstruction. The presidential reconstruction supported the 10% rule, while the congressional reconstruction rejected the rule, instead they supported the"forfeited-rights theory"which states that as long as the southerners rebelled against the union; they had forfeited their rights under the U.S. constitution.. Also the presidential rule was very lenient towards the southerners. and offered some form of amnesty to southerners who would take oath of allegiance. the congressional reconstruction wanted revenge against the south.

Prior to Republican control, Andrew Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction had allowed ex-Confederate leaders to regain power in southern state governments.
