Answer 1

Johnson was vetoing a lot of what congress wanted to pass during reconstruction, and Johnson later was impeached. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The president vetoed a series of laws.

Explanation:

The Reconstruction Era started with President Lincoln and after his assassination, President Johnson took over. Johnson did not have the same beliefs as Lincoln had, he believed that the Southern States should have more liberty and because of that, he vetoed a series of laws passed by Congress.

With that, the Congress overrode a presidential veto in 1867 and divided the South into military districts and passed a few laws that restricted Presidential powers, those laws prevented him from appointing Supreme Court justices and restricted his authority over the army.
