The answer is B. Andrew Johnson's acquittal in his Senate impeachment trial was because of the legislative branch being more powerful than the executive branch. Thirty-six votes being guilty is required to successfully impeach Johnson. However, only 35 Senators voted guilty while the others non-guilty.
