War Democrat (constitutionalist) de facto President Andrew Johnson (a Citizen of the confederate of Tennessee) vetoes the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as a violation of State sovereignty: [T]he distinction of race and color is by the bill made to operate in favor of the colored against the white race.  They interfere with the municipal legislation of the States; with relations existing exclusively between a State and its citizens, or between inhabitants of the same State; an absorption and assumption of power by the General [federal] Government which, if acquiesced in, must sap and destroy our federative system of limited power, and break down the barriers which preserve the rights of the States.

       President pro Tempore Lafayette S. Foster, of the Republican (nationalist) Senate, orders Democratic (constitutionalist) Senator John P. Stockton, of New Jersey, handcuffed to his desk and carried out of the Senate chamber; thus preventing him from voting “NO” on a proposed 14th amendment, which will create United States subject citizenship (second-class citizenship) for freedmen (freed slaves), and anyone born after this date.  The amendment is unlawfully certified as having received the required two-thirds Senate vote—because of Senator Stockton’s expulsion—and unlawfully sent to the House of Representatives for consideration.
