specification that be bad appointed

sent of the Senate, which was then in
session.
4th. 'That on the Slat of February he
conspired with said Thomas and other

he had no right, nor Aad the Presidast,
to disobey a law of Citongreas upon the co
motption that it tons uneonstitutsonal, and
that if this were not so the President might
set aside eat the laws of Congress since tAe
foundation of the Government upon the
ground that they were =constitutional.
That the President• plumaged no ;each
power, because it was not an executive,
but exclusively a judicial power, and that
alt the lases of Cbngress must be obeyed
and executed by the Pruideal unless their
execution was restrained by the highest
Judicial authority. That to declare a
law ultamsfitutitenal was not only the ex
ercise of Judicial power, but the highest
judiciat power, and only to be resorted to
by the courts where, in their Judgment,
the act was clearly necomaitutional, and
that in all doubtful cases the court had
uniformly refused to interfere with the
execution of the law."
