Congressional (radical) Reconstruction continues: The Republican (nationalist) 39th Constitutional Congress (elected in accordance with Article I, Section 3 [Clause 1])—without a constitutional amendment—passes both the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Freedmen’s Bureau Extension Act over the veto of War Democrat (constitutionalist) de facto President Andrew Johnson (a Citizen of the confederate State of Tennessee).  The CRA of 1866 dictates to the confederate States who they must, and who they may not, accept as citizens.  The FBEA perpetuates the practice of “carpetbagging” by which scoundrels from the north, seeking opportunities for bribery, graft, and malfeasance, are preying upon the instability of the confederate State governments.  These are the first major pieces of legislation passed over a president’s veto.
