Final answer:
President Johnson was impeached by the House but not removed by the Senate. The impeachment was based on his dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, which violated the Tenure of Office Act. The impeachment demonstrated the constitutional checks and balances.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks whether President Johnson's actions deserved to have him removed from office. The answer is that he was impeached by the House but not removed by the Senate. The Tenure of Office Act in 1867 denied the president the right to remove civil officials without Senate approval, and Johnson's dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton led to his impeachment for 'high crimes and misdemeanors.' The impeachment showed the constitutional checks and balances at work but was ultimately unsuccessful in removing Johnson from office.
