What was the distribution of votes cast in President Andrew Johnson's Senate impeachment trial?
The House of Representatives impeached Johnson by a vote of 126-47, mostly cast along party lines, with the Radical Republicans demanding impeachment. Johnson was acquitted at his Senate trial, where the vote was taken three times in an effort to resolve the 35-19 deadlock that was one vote short of conviction. Although the Radical Republicans held enough seats for conviction, several members crossed the aisle and voted to acquit the President because they didn't like the way the impeachment and trial was handled.

Who was the first speaker of the house to become president if the president is killed?
It has always been the law that the Vice President assumes office if the President dies or is incapacitated. This has happened eight times since 1788. There has never been a case where the VP, becoming president, is also killed or incapacitated. The closest thing ever to happen like this was when Nixon was President and Spiro Agnew was VP. Agnew was corrupt, and resigned as VP to avoid impeachment. President Nixon nominated Gerald Ford to be VP, and when Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment, Ford became president. Ford is the only person to be president who was never elected as President or VP.
