How did congress take control of reconstruction

I think it would be in the 14th amendment

Explanation:

sorry if this is wrong as im pretty stupid

In early 1866, Congressional Republicans, appalled by mass killing of ex-slaves and adoption of restrictive black codes, seized control of Reconstruction from President Johnson. ... The 14th Amendment also reduced representation in Congress of any southern state that deprived African Americans of the vote.

false. they couldn't be directly governed from across the ocean.
