History

Andrew Jackson was never impeached because the House of Representatives never passed a bill of impeachment against him. Nor, as far as I know, did they ever want to. (EDIT: See below.) You may be confusing him with President Andrew Johnson, who was the first President to be impeached. (There have been exactly two, him and Bill Clinton. Richard Nixon might have been, but he resigned before the House could act.) Johnson was in conflict with not only Congress but with members of his own Cabinet. In 1867, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act, which restricted the President from firing his own Cabinet members and other appointed officials without the advice and consent of the Senate. Johnson persisted in trying to dismiss Edwin Stanton, his Secretary of War, and the House passed a bill of impeachment against him as a result. The Senate, however, failed to convict him and remove him from office, by one vote. (To date, no President has been removed from office as a result of impeachment.) EDIT: Andrew Jackson was accused of certain gross Constitutional violations during his time in office, such as destroying the Second Bank of the United States, forceful relocation of Native Americans (as part of which he defied the Supreme Court), and declaring that states do not have the right to nullify Federal laws. While people may have in fact wanted him impeached over these actions, the fact remains that the House of Representatives never passed a bill of impeachment against him.

How did the 15th ammendment affect elections in the south?
ycow [4]
CONTENTS<span>PRINTCITE</span>

The 15th Amendment, granting African-American men the right to vote, was formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution on March 30, 1870. Passed by Congress the year before, the amendment reads: “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Despite the amendment, by the late 1870s, various discriminatory practices were used to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South. After decades of discrimination, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that denied blacks their right to vote under the 15th Amendment.
