How did Republicans in Congress overcome President Johnson’s disapproval of the Reconstruction Acts?

Answer
A
They overturned many of his vetoes with their vote.
B
They forced Johnson to resign as president.
C
They worked together with Johnson to pass the laws.
D
They had the support of former Confederate leaders.

Explanation

Congressional Republicans had enough votes to override President Andrew Johnson’s vetoes. An override required a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate, allowing the Reconstruction Acts to become law despite his disapproval. Johnson was not forced to resign, and he did not cooperate in passing the acts.
