He removed an opponent from the cabinet without the consent of congress violating its tenure of office act.
He was also vice president under lincoln and he was a democrate.
Smiles.

Not Andrew Jackson-- it was Andrew Johnson.

He was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, by dismissing Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, the House voted eleven articles of impeachment against him. He was tried by the Senate in the spring of 1868 and acquitted by one vote.

Interesting point-- Johnson vetoed the Tenure of Office Act in 1867, but Congress voted the act into law over the president's veto. The Tenure of Office Act was declared Unconstitutional 34 years later....
