Ect or respondent wasto be advised by Gen.
Emory, as commander of the Department of
Washington, what changes had been made
in the military affairs of the Department.
'respondent had been informed that various
changes had been made,_ which in no Wise
lad been brought to his notice,•or reported
. to him . from the Department of IN alp, or
from any other quarter, and desired toas
certain t7he facts. .Alterthe said. Emory had
explained in -detail the 'ehanges which had
taken place, said Emory called the atten
,!'tiOrf:Of 'the respondent to general order,
'which he:referred to; and which this rd
- sporident then sent for, When it was pro
' duced. It is as follows :
."`DAR DEPARTMENT,
"ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE,
"WASHINGTON, D. C., March 14, 1567.
GENERAL ORDER NO. 17.
"The following.acts of. Congress are pub
. liihed for the intormation and government
of all concerned:
"An act making • appropriations for the

provisions of this section, knowing that such

"Approved March 2d,. 1867. •
By order of the Secretary of War.
"E. D. - TowNsExo, A. A. G.
"Official. Assistant Adjutant General.
A. G. 0., No. 17;"
General Emory not only called the atten
tion of this respondent to this order, but to
the fact that it was-in conformity with a
section contained in an appropriation act
passed by Congress. This respondent, after
reading, tho.order„observed "this is. not in
accordance' with'' Constitution - of the
United States,
which makes me command
er-in-chief of the army and navy thereof,
and the language of the commission which
- you hold." Gen. Emory stated that this
order had met this respondent's approval.
This respondent then, said .in substsinee:
"Am I to understand that the President of
the United States cannot give an order but
through the : General-in-Chief or Gen.
,Grant?" • Gen. Ernory again reiterated the
statement that It had met the respondent's
approval, and that it was the opinion of
some of the leading lawyers of the country
that this order was constitutional. 'With
some further conversation respondent then
inquired the name of the lawyers who - had
'given this opinion, and he mentioned the
- names of two. Respondent then said that
the object of the
,law was very evi-•
;,,dent, referring to - a clause in the ap
propriation act upon which the order
purported to be based. This, according to
the respondent's recollection, was the sub
stance of the conversation with. General
EmorY. Respondent - denies that any alle-.
gation in the said article of any instruc
tions or declarations given to the said Emory,
or at any other time, contrary or in addi
tion to what is hereinbefore set forth, are
true. Respondent denies that in the said con
versation with Emory he 'laid any other 4n
tent than to express the opinions then given
to the said Emory,. nor did he then or at any
time request or order the said Emory to
diso_bey any law or order issued in con
formity with any law, or intend to offer any .
inducement to. Emory to violate any law.
What this respondent then said to General
Emory WAS simply the expression of an'
opinion ; , which he fully believed to he
sound, and which he yet believes to be
so; and that is, that by the express provis
ions of the Constitution this respondent, as
;President, is Made the Commander-in-Chief
orthe armies of the • United States, and as
'such he is to be respected, and that his or
.-derS,. whether tiled through the Wer..Do
partment or through the General-in-Chief,
or by other channels•of communication, are
entitled to respect and. obedience, and
such constitutional power cannot be taken
from him by Virtue of any act of Congress.
• Respondent does, therefore, deny that by the
.expression' of such opinion he did. commit
'T - and was - .'guilty of a high misdemeanor in
•• And thisresPondent dOes further say, that
the said article ninth lays no 'foundation
'Whatever for 'the - eimelusion stated in said
article, that the respondent, by resism of
.. the !negation therein centainedi wee guilty
of a high misdemeanor in office, in refer
ence, to,,the ,statement madf3, by J - :/eneral
`Fanory that this respondent approved Said
act at Oinkress containing the saidprovision
h./aimed, to:,, The :respondent_ admits that

the Souse o f esentativea: The act

the support of the army for the year ending
June 30th, 1868, and for other purposes,".
'
contains provisions to which I must call nt-_
terition. These provisions are , contained in
the second section, which in certain eases
virtually deprive the President of his con
stitutional functions as Commander-na-
Chief of the Army, and the sixth section,
which denies torten States of the Union
their constitutional right to protect them
selves in any emergency by means of their
own militia. These - provisions . are out of
place in an appropriation bill. I am com- . -
pelled to defeat these necessary appropria
tions if I withhold my signature 'from the
act. Pressed by these considerstions, I feel
constrained to return the bill with .my sig
nature, but accompany it with my earnest
protest aga. !inst the_ sections which I have
indicated.
"Washington, D. C., March 2, 1867."
- Respondent, therefore, did no more than
to express to the said Emory, the same
opinion which he had so expressed to the
House of Representatives.
And in answer to the tenth article and
specification ' thereto the respondent says
that on the bith and 15th days of August,
1886, a political Convention of delegates
fro Mall or most of the states and territories
of the Union: was held in the city of Phila
delphia, under the name and style of Na
tional Union Convention, for the purpose of
maintaining and advancing certain political
views and opinions before the people of the
United States, and for their support and
adoption in the exercise of Constitutional suf
frage in the elections of Representatives in
Congress which were soon to occur in many
of the states and territories, which said Con
vention in the course of its proceedings, and
in furtherance of the 'objects of the same,
adopted a declaration of principles
and an adress to the people of
the - United States, and- appointed
a 'committee of .two of_ its members front
each state, one frOm each territory,
and one from the District of Columbia, to
wait upon the President of the United
States, and present to him a copy of the
proceedings of the Convention; that on the
18th day of the said month of August, this
committee waited upon the President of
the United States, at the Executive Mansion,
and was received by him in one of the
rooms thereof, and by their chairman, the ,
Hon.. Reverdy Johiison, then and now a
Senator of .the United States, speaking in
their behalf, presented a copy of the pro-.
ceedings of the Convention, and addressed
the President of the United States in a
speech, of which a copy, according tothe
ptiblish report ed of the same, and as the $1-
spondent believes substantially a correct
report, . is hereto annexed as a part of this
nnswer:and marked "Exhibit Cr' that there
upon, in reply to the address of said com
mittee by their chairman, this respondent
addressed the same committee in, one of the .
roeins of the Executive Mansion, and this
respondent believes this his address tosaid
the
on the occasion is referred to hi
the firSt specification of the tenth article,
but this . respondent does not admit the
passages therein set 'forth, as 'of extracts
from a speech or address of this respondent
upon such occasion, correctly or justly pre
sent his speech or address upon said occa
sion, but, on the contrary, this respondent
demand.s and insists that if the honorable
Court shall deem the said article and the
-said first specification thereof ..to contain
allegation of matter cognizable lay this
honorable Court as a high Misdemeanor
within the ,intent and meaning of thaCon- •
stitution of the United States, and shall
receive or allow proof in support of the
same, that proof should be required to be
made of -the actual broad address of this
respondent on ' that occasion, which this
respondent, denies this article contains cor
rectly or justly represents.
This respondent, farther' answering
the tenth article and specifications
thereof, says that at Clevehtncl, in the
State of Ohio. on the 3d day
of. April ; 1866, he. was attended by a
large assemblage of his fellow eitizens,and in
deference and obedience to their_ call and de
mand he addresed them' upon , matters of
nubile and political consideration,• and this
respondent believes that said occasion and
adthess.are referred to in the second specili
station of the tenth article; but this respond
ent does not admit the passage therein set
forth as of an extractfrom the speech of
this respondent on said occasion, correctly
or justly presents his speech on said occasion
but, on the contrary,, this respondent de
mand.% and insists, if this honorable Court

.specification thereof to contain allegations
of matter cognizable by this honorable
Court.as a high misdemeanor in office, with
in the intent and meaning of the Constitu

orallow proof of the same, that proof shall
be required to be made of the actual speech
and address of this respondent on said ocea-
Mon, which this respondent denies said str
ticht and specification contains correctly or
justly presents: - -
And this respondent, further answering
the tenth article and the specification there;
of, says. that at St. Louis, in the State of
Missonri, on the Bth day of September, 1860,
.he was attended by a numerous assemblage
of his fellow-citizens, and in deference and
obedience to their call and demand ad
dressed, them on matters mid political con
siderations,-• and the respondent.. believes
said occasion and address are referred to
in the third "specification of the tenth arti
cle; but ,this respondent doas not admit the
passage therein set forth as extracts from
speech of this respondent on said et:cation
correctly- or justly present his speech upon
said occasion, but,- on the contrary, this re
spondent demands and insists if this lion—
orable Court shall deem said article and
said third specification thereof to contain
matter cognizable, by this honorable
Court as a high misdemeanor- in office,
within the intent and meaning of the.. Con
stitutlen of the United States, and receive
or allow proof of the same; that proof shall
be required to be made of the actual speech
of the respondent on said occasion which
this respondent denies that the said article
contains or justly presents.

been unmindful el the high duties of his
office, . or of ,the harmony or courtesies
Which ought to exist and be maintained be
-tureen the Executive :and Legislative branch

or either brunch thereof, or to impair or-de

of the United States as constituted and or

gress in:its legislation and ' , proceedings
should give to this political circumstance,
and whatsoever he has thus . Communiaited .
to Congress or addressed to his fellow-cithr
zens, or any assemblage thereof, this re .
spondent says was and is within and-ac
mrding to his right and.privilege, as to all
American citizens, and his , high duty as
President of the United States. And the re-
Bpi:indent, not waiving Or at all disparaging
his, right of freedom of opinion and of free
dom of speech, as hereinbefore , or herein
_after more particularlyset forth; but claim
ing and insisting upon the 'smile, further
answering the said tenth article ; ' says the
views and opinions expressed by this
respondent ' in" ' his said , addresses'
to the assemblages of his-fellow citizens as
in said article, or in this answer' thereto,
mentioned, are not and were 'not intended
to be other 'or different &bin those ex
pressed by him in his communications to :
Congress, that the insurrectionary States
never had ceased.to be States Of the Union,.
and that they were then entitled to repre
sentation in Congress by loyal representa
tives and Senators as- fully as . the . other.
States of the Union, and 'that "consequently
the Congress as then constituted was not
in fact a Congress of all the States, but a
Congress of only a part of the States; this .
respondent, always protesting against the
unauthorized exclusion therefrom' of the
said ten States, nevertheless gave his assent
to all laws passed by said Congress, which
did not in his opinion and.judgment violate
the Constitution,' exercising his Constitu
tional author ty of returning bills to said
Congress wihis objections when they
appeared to him td be unconstitutional
or inexpe 'ent.i And further, this
respondent - has also expressed the
ii
opinion; bot i in his communications
with Congress and in his addresses to the
people, that the policy adopted by:Congress
in reference to the States lately in insurrec
tion ' did not tend to peace, harmony or
union, but on the contrary did tend to dis
union and the permanent disruption of
States, and that in following its , said policy
laws had been passed by Congress in viola
tion of the fundamental principles of the
Government, and which tended - to consoli
dation and despotism. And such being his
deliberate opimon ' he Would have felt him
self unmindfill of the high duties of his
office if he had failed to express them in
his communications to Congress, or in his
addressesto his fellow citizens when called
upon by them to express his opinion on mat
ters of public and political consideration. ,
And this respondent,.further answering
the tenth article, says that he. has always
claimed and insistea, and now claims and
.insists, that both in his personal and pri
vate capacity of a citizen of tho United
States, in the political relations of the Pres-
ident of the United States, to the people of
the United States, whose servant, under the
duties and responsibilitieS of the Constitu
tion of .the United States, the President of
the United States should always remain;
this respondent had and has the full
right, and in, his office of President of the
United States 'is held to :the high duty of
forming and on lit occasions expressing
opinions of and concerning the legislation
of Congress proposed, in respect of its wis
dom, expedience, justice; worthiness, ob
jects, purposes and public service, as well
in Congress as otherwise, and under no
other rules or limits upon' this ; right of free
dom of opinion, and of freedOm of speech,
or : responsibility; or amenability lbr the
actual exercise of such freedom of opinion
and freedom of speech, than attend upon
such rights and their exercise on the part of
all other citizens of the United States and
on the part of all other public servants.
And this respondent, farther. answering
Said tenth article, - says that the several oc
casions on whith, as is alleged in the sev
eral specifications - of the said article, this
respondent addressed his fellow citizens on
subjects of. public and political considera
tion, were -not, • any •of them; • sought or
planned by this respondent, but on the
contrary each of Said occasions arose upon
the exercise of a lawful and accus
tomed right of the - people of the United
States to call upon their public ser
vants and express to them • their opin
ions; wishes and 'feelings upon matters
of public and political consideration.
and to invite from suchof their public sei
vants an expression of their opinions, views
and feelings on matters of public and poin
ts). consideration. And this respondent
claims and insists, before this honorable
Court, and before all the people of thil United
States, that of or concerning this his right
of freedom of opinion and freedom of
speech, and this his exercise of such rights
of all matters of public and political consid
eration, and in respect of all public servants
and persons whatsoever engaged in or con
nected therewith, this respondent, as a citi
zen or as president. of the tinned States, is
not subje#t to the question of impeachment
or inculpation in any form or manner what
soever.
And this respondent says that neither the
said tenth ankle, nor any specification,
thereof, nor any allegation therein mn
tained,-teacheit or relates to any official act
or doing of this respondent in , the Alec of
the President of the United States, or in
the discharge of any of its constitutional or

thereof,: Wholly and in every part
thereof, .rytiestion fully the desertion
or propriety of : freedom of opinion

by this respondent :is. n citizen of the United
States, in hisrSonal right and capacity,
and without alle pe gation or imputation against
this respondent of the violation of any law
of the United States, touching or relating to
freedom of speech, or its exercise tiV , the
citizens of the United States, or by•this re
spondent aS ono of said citizens, or other

matter in Said article or specifications al
leged, he has said or done anything inde=
cent or unbecoming in the Chief Magistrate
of the United States.
