Johnson Impeached, President Benjamin Wade

Andrew Johnson was one vote away from being convicted and removed from office. Had it happened, President pro tempore of the Senate, Benjamin Franklin Wade would have become the 18th President.

How would Reconstruction change under President Benjamin Wade, had one more vote gone towards Johnson's conviction? Wade was a Radical, unlike the moderate Johnson he would replace. It would presumably allow the Radicals to pass much of their agenda, but Wade would have less than a year, assuming he doesn't get renominated. What could he do?
