stanton. all of which should give us a very clear idea of why when johnson tries to take away the power of that secretary of war to put in one of his own people, congress should be very, very angry. but congress was also very, very frightened, and to understand that, we have to understand a bit more as well. this man, in fact, this andrew johnson who treated the constitution as if it was his only friend, as if it was a golden retriever to follow him wherever he went was a man, in fact, who believed in what he was doing, but his policy republicans would have said means the death of many innocent people, and they saw johnson, in fact, as taking powers that no president had ever taken before in peacetime to dominate, to dictate, to create state governments in the south, and so here is andrew johnson as a caesar looking down at the massacre in the arena as you can see it, and who's being massacred out there? was william stewart giving advice behind the throne to andrew johnson, it's the black peop

and stanton. by following the rules of the tenure of office. what he had done, in fact, in august of 1867, had been to try to suspend stanton from office. but she was allowed to do when congress was out of session. when congress came back into session, the senate decided that the suspension was not viable, and that stanton remained as secretary of war. having abided by this act, as long as he had, johnson now could be said, he was prepared to use action and forced to put stanton out. to deliberately, violate that tenure of office act. so, in fact, you have two things happening. first, andrew johnson is violating a law of the united states, duly passed., as opposed to attempting to appeal it. and the second thing is, you realize right then and there, that if he gets hold of the army, all of the reconstruction is in danger. and maybe the republic itself. and so, when you think of the man you had -- for secretary of war instead, this is the man. this was a man who was on record. thomas viewing, arguing that the congress was illegal. do you want hi

you hear bill marvel hold forth on stanton. stanton was a political chameleon. changed colors many times. would tell his class stanton would lie when there was no reason to lie. anyway, mcclellan thinks that stanton and his friend, but in fact mcclellan is going to face great hostility from his supposed friend, edwin stanton, who is quickly becoming an enemy. and mcclellan was also facing criticism and hostility from senior division commanders. mcclellan had reason to fear that his authority was being undermined, i think, at this point and that the president, perhaps, was involved. though i don't see lincoln really -- lincoln's not maneuvering against mcclellan. i think lincoln is still kind of feeling his way along as commander in chief. on january 27, lincoln issues his famous orders, calling for a general advance of the armies on washington's birthday, which was of course meaningless because there was going to be no advance on february 22nd. by this time, however, mcclellan does have a plan. and you have your handout there. as you know, i am no military histo

and, stanton was basically a political chameleon. he changed colors many times. -- who is no friend of mcclelland, definitely no friend of stanton. would also always tell us the war quest and, in no reason to lie. anyway, mcclelland thinks that stanton and his friend, in fact ... mcclelland is going to face great hostility from his supposed friend edward stanton, who is quickly becoming an implacable enemy. mcclelland was also facing criticism, and hostility for senior division commanders. mcclelland -- being undermined i think at this point. and that the president, perhaps, was in volleyed. i don't see lincoln really ... lincoln's not maneuvering against mcclelland. i think lincoln is kind of feeling his way along, as commander in chief. on january 27th, lincoln issues his famous order, calling for a general advance for the armies of washington's birthday. was, of course meaningless. because there was gonna be no advance in february 22nd. by this time, however, mcclelland does have a plan. and, you have your hand out there. as you k

but sunstein is wrong firing stanton was the sole reason. the tenth article of impeachment, the tenth accused johnson of bringing the presidency into contempt, ridicule and disgrace. so it was against the office. the 11th article combined legal and political arguments including the political claim that johnson was not properly executing the reconstruction acts. and what about meacham which sounds reasonable, leave it up to the voters? the reconstruction act should remind us that's exactly what the question was at the time. who were the voters? johnson was pardoning ex-confederates. the reconstruction act tried to reverse that. so were there grounds to declare johnson unfit for office? here i want to turn to a historian who much more in the mid-50s was a profile in courage and that's david donald. remember at that time johnson was considered a good president. and yet for the american heritage he wrote an essay called why they impeach andrew johnson. and donald details how johnson's political ineptitude destroyed any chance of bringing the nat

nonetheless, johnson fired secretary of war stanton, who was a radical to keep him from using the military to intervene in the south. now, johnson has some really good attorneys, and his attorneys responded to this legal claim or charge by saying, hold it stanton didn't even come on to the act. he was appointed by lincoln, up by johnson. and further, even if he did come under the act, the only reason johnson was doing this was to get the supreme court to rule on the constitutionality of that. now that, is a crucial interesting question. you have a president defy a law to get a constitutional ruling. well, how is the legal issue represented in three words. well dickson more less aborted. there was one theory that johnson was actually helping john looks booth and sensationalism, such as the involvement of teenage sculpture benny greene. the other to do deal with the legal issue. although the film mistakenly says the tenure of office to act bids forbids dismissal of a cabinet by lincoln. -- it's kennedy delighted in knowing that the act was branded just today failed to mention -- unconstituti

pretty closely at this present who was one of eight virginia native presidents born and raised in stanton, look in his -- his right eyeball. that is a wasp's nest which is not uncommon. often you'll see them in the nostrils of the sculptors as well. a few of them are starting to miss some parts. lyndon johnson is starting to lose the end of his nose. the ronald reagan was one of them that was struck by lightning a few years back, but he's been successively cleaned up since, and probably the most difficult of all of the presidents to identify is back here behind president reagan. no one has ever gotten this right. as a matter of fact, i had to really study him hard to figure out who that was. that is warren harding, and behind him is john adams who is tough to see because of all of the overgrowth. the neatest fact that i've come across through a lot of my research is ronald reagan when he was asked what his proudest accomplishment in life was, it had nothing to do with his presidency nor his acting career. his proudest accomplishment in life is that he claims to have saved 77 lives from wh

the impeachment of the attempt to impeach the former secretary of war in the 1800s, i think with stantoninforms the arguments that's being made today. i just find that kind of fascinating. >> no, it's really true. i think there are certain times you know you're living through history and when history becomes really important, that was true obviously during the civil war and true during the great depression and world war ii and the 1960s and certainly true now. but the key thing that we know about history is we know how those other situations ended. we know the civil war ended with the union restored and emancipation restored and the mobilization of the war and we know world war ii ended with allies winning. we don't know the end of our story. we have the chance to write that ending and that's important knowing about history. maybe in the '90s or the '80s or '70s you didn't feel you were living through history but now we know. the citizen haves a huge responsibility to figure out how to tell this story and make right what was wrong. >> my mom just shortly before she died, i remember her s

stanton for five minutes. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman.ver the last few years, we've increasingly seen in our country a tale of two supreme courts, one that we're all familiar with, one in which oral arguments are made before the justices, one in which parties who have an interest in the case can make their case heard too. and one in which the rationale for the court's decision sees the light of day. another one has emerged in recent years. it is one where decisions with sweeping implications are made in the dark, in the shadows, with rationale and legal reasoning hidden from the public. the so-called shadow docket was created for emergency situations where a party had to show irreparable harm to skip the line and forego the traditional path to the u.s. supreme court. that is why it has been so often used to handle death penalty cases. but now it is used much more broadly. used strategically by litigants of a certain ideology who didn't like or agree with a district court decision to skip the appellate courts and go straight to a more symp
