why did congress vote to impeach president johnson?
president johnsons pardoning of former confederate officials
the struggle over who president johnson could/couldnt fire from his cabinet
control of the armed forces
the fight over who would control reconstruction in the southern states

Explanation:

Congress voted to impeach President Johnson mainly due to the struggle over Reconstruction policies. Johnson's lenient approach towards the South clashed with Congress's more radical Reconstruction plans. The Tenure of Office Act (which restricted the president's ability to fire certain officials) was also a factor. When Johnson violated this act by firing Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, it provided a legal pretext for impeachment. However, the root cause was the fight over who would control Reconstruction in the Southern states.

Answer:

The fight over who would control Reconstruction in the Southern states.
