Yes, very bad President.
I concur he was a terrible President (not as bad as Buchanan, and depending on the day of the week for me, Wilson)… but that's not why you get to impeach.
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" – so you'd have to detail that Johnson committed some legal atrocity in the service of his office and not simply say, "I hate this guy".
We have had many "bad Presidents" – currant one included – and many have had investigations into their doings, yet NONE have ever been actually impeached, i.e., removed from office.
Only one that I can recall ever resigned before impeachment proceedings could be brought against him. Just remember that "Tricky Dick" was not a crook, just a bad president . . . . . . . And so was Clinton and not to mention my not-so-favorite peanut farmer prez . . .o.0
