Why did the articles of impeachment not stand up against President Johnson?
The issues they addressed were much too vague.
He resigned before they could take him to court.
The Senate had made up a bunch of lies about him.
There was no Constitutional backing for them.
One of the main reasons why the articles of impeachment did not stand up against President Johnson was because "The issues they addressed were much too vague," since they were levied mostly for political reasons.
