Question

although the freedmans bureau bill and the civil rights act were vetoed, they still went into effect because:

the supreme court overruled the president
congress vetoed the supreme court
the president cannot veto congress
congressed overrode the veto

congress felt as though president johnson broke the law by not following the tenure of office act and decided to:

send the president a memo
overturn the presidents cabinet selections
impeach the president
do nothing

Explanation:

Analyze the first question

The first question asks how the Freedman's Bureau Bill and the Civil Rights Act went into effect despite being vetoed by President Andrew Johnson. Under the United States Constitution, if a President vetoes a bill, Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. In 1866, the Republican-dominated Congress successfully overrode Johnson's vetoes on both of these landmark Reconstruction measures. Therefore, the correct option is "Congressed overrode the veto" (noting the minor typographical error "Congressed" in the option text).

Analyze the second question

The second question asks about Congress's reaction when they felt President Andrew Johnson broke the law by violating the Tenure of Office Act. In 1867, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act to protect Radical Republican allies in Johnson's cabinet, specifically Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. When Johnson suspended and then fired Stanton without Senate approval, the House of Representatives voted to impeach him in 1868. Therefore, the correct option is "Impeach the President".
