Banned
He was President Pro Tembre of the Senafe in 1865. If the Andrew Johnson had been assassinated he would have been president. wWhat were his views on reconstruction.
He was a moderate, not out of ideology but out of being completely bland and useless. His two year Presidency wouldn't be one of daring leadership, probably Congress and the Cabinet really running things. In the 1866 Special Presidential Election there's basically no chance he'd be the nominee, so yeah.
I never heard of the special election. I know it is not mentioned I the constitution.

If there was a presidential election in November 1865, I assume the Republicans would nominate Grant and he would win. I assume he and the Republicans would work well together on Reconstruction. aAnother Republican would win in 1872 but he would have trouble winning reelection in 1876.

If Stanton wins in 1865 and is reelected in 1868,then Grant could run and win in 1872. aAs the hero, he could win in 1876.
Stanton, absolutely unelectable, he was Lincoln's Sin-eater. The whole country and political system hated him.
