    B. He sincerely believe that Johnson had not committed an impeachable offense.

    Senator Ross's vote allowed Johnson to stay in office, as they failed to reach the 2/3's majority in order to impeach. Ross believed that even if Johnson had been outside of his authority in replacing Stanton, it was not an offense worthy of impeachment.
