This document was the prosecution’s final piece of evidence in the Johnson impeachment trail. As David Stewart writes, House Manager Ben Butler’s “final crescendo came from a letter sent by Treasury Secretary Hugh McCulloch in August of 1867, when Johnson suspended Stanton. The letter stated that Stanton was suspended under the Tenure of Office Act, directly contradicting the assertions of the president’s lawyers that Johnson had acted under his constitutional powers.”
