Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 17 x 14, March 19, 1867. President Johnson appoints Robert R. Congdon as "Collector of the Customs for the District of Georgetown in the State of South Carolina." Boldly signed at the conclusion in ink by President Andrew Johnson, and countersigned by Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch. Affixed to a larger mount and in very good to fine condition, with light toning from prior display. This document dates to just days after Congress overrode Johnson's veto to pass the Tenure of Office Act, which would play a pivotal role in his impeachment the following year.
