I just read that the only reason Johnson survived that is because many thought Wade would be worse.

here is another interesting tidbit

Chase bank is named after the Chief Justice Salmon Chase that presided over Johnson’s impeachment. He was a descendent of a an impeached Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase

This bit about the word “act” is funny

Benjamin Wade is one of the two sponsors of the Wade-Davis Bill, which set such high standards for "readmitting" states that Lincoln killed it with a pocket veto in 1864.

No connection to the MLB pitcher Wade Davis (who pitched the last few years for the Rockies but didn't do well in 2020 and apparently is headed for the minor leagues).
