Andrew Johnson was the vice president at the time of Abraham Lincoln’s death by assassination at the Ford theater. He then took over the presidency after Lincoln’s death. When Lincoln was killed, a hitman was actually also sent after Johnson, although he failed. Johnson did not have a successful career in the Oval Office, as he is one of 3 presidents to ever be impeached. The other 2 impeached presidents who were impeached were Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
