IMPEACH T.
GENERAL BUTLER'S efiENING AR

We ust be content, therefore, with the an
nex extracts, touching upon two points of
grey intrinsic importance to the sage:
NotilAT ARE ' rairk:ACITLtiLE •OFFENBES
' In the light, therefore, of these preced
ents, the queition arises, What are inipexteli
,abie offenses under the provisions of our
Constitution?
To analyze, tom pare, to reconcilethese
precedents, is a rk rather for the closet
than the forum. In order,' therefore, to
spare your atten 'on, I have preferrea to
state the result to lfich I hain arrived, and
that you may see e authorities and discus
sions, both in thi country, 'and in England,
fromwhich we deduce our piopositions, so
far as applicable to this case. • I prayleave
to lay before you, at the close of my argu
ment, a brief of all the preeedents and au
thorities upon this subject, in tioth countries,
for which I am indebted to the exhaustive
and learned labors of my frierid, the honor
able William Lawrence, of Ohio, member of
the. Judicial? , Committee of the. House of
Representatives,. in , which I fully hconcur
and which I adopt.
We define, therefore, an impeachable high
crime or misdeanor to be one in . its nature
or consequences subversins •of- SOMA
• mental or essential pri.neiple of government,
• or MghZy prejudiciaito ihepub'lie interiat, and
:this snag :ossist of a vialation.of
the Consli
'tution, of Law, of ono/field oath, or of duty,
by an aft committed or omitted,. or, without
violatisg a positive law, by the abuse - of del
cretiorary powers from improper motives, or
from any improper purpose.
The first criticism which will strike the
mind on a cursory examination of this deft
- talon is, that some of the enumerated acts
are not within the common-law defmithm
of crimes. :It is but common learning that
in , the English precedents the words 'high
crimes and misdemeanors" are universally
used; but any malveisation in office highly
piejudicial to the public interest, rsui3ver
;sive of some, frindluilental principle of goy-,
ernment by which the safety 'of a genple
may be in danger, is' a high crime - against
the nation, as the term is used in perils
' mentary law.
Hallam, in his Constitutional History
England, certainly deduces this doctrine
from the precedents, and especially Lord
Danby's case, 17th State Trials, 600, of
which he says
"The Commons, in impeaching Lord Den
by, went a great way toward establishing
the principle that 'no - minister can Shelter
himself behind the throne by pleading obe
dience. to the orders of his sovereign. He.
is answerable ',tor, the` justice, the hcM.sty, the
utility. of 'ol meaures emanating from the
Crown, as. Well as for their legality; and
thus the executive administration is, or ought
to be, subordinate in all ,great matters of
policy to the superintendence and virtual
control of. the two houses. of - Parliament."
Mr. Christian, in his notes to the Commen
taries of Blackstone, explains the collocation
and use of the words "high crimes and mis
. demeanors" by saying:
..,
"When the words , 'high crimes and miss
demeanors' are used in prosecutions by im- •
peachment, the words 'high crimes' have no
definite - signification, but are used merely to
give greater solemnity to the charge."
A like interpretation must have been given
.by the framers of the Constitution t because
a like definition ta ours waskin the mind of
Mr. Madison, to whom more than to any
other" - we are indebted - ;for the' phraseology
of our Constitution,- for, the first Con
gress,when discussing thenower to remove
•an officer by the President, which is one of
the,very material questions before the Seri
stela this moment, he uses the following
words l•
"The danger consists mainly in this :
that the President can displace from office a
-man whose merits. require he should be con
' tinned in it. In the first plice, he will be
impeacbable by the House for such an act of
mal-administration, for I contend that. the
wanton removal of meritorious officers
would :subject him to impettelunerit and re
moval from his own high trust."
Strengthening this view ,we find
tenthat
within years attertienlir;lipeichMent was
applied by, the very men who franied the
Constitution to the acts of public officers,
which under no common-law definition
could be justly called crimes or misdemean
ors, either high or low. . Leaving, however,
the correctness of ourproposition s te be sus
tained by the authorities we furnish, we are
naturally brought to consideration of
the method of the procedure, and theiiature
of the groceedings in cases of impeachment,
°ad. : the character is,ntincilvera of,-Ibe tribunal
',lid'. Xidelii high. crimes' and ratsdePleanors
are to be adjudged or determined:
THE, PRESIDEIVI 4 I3 RIGHT TO DISREGARD A
LAW.
The President admits that-he intended to
' set aside -the tenure-of:office act, 'and thud
contravene the Constitution,' if that hit
was unconstitutiOnal.
- 'Having shown that the President
fully violated an `act' of. Congress without
justification, both in the removal of 'Stanton
and the appointment - of Thomas, for the
PorPoSsof obtaining wrongfully the posses
, sion of the War Office, by force, if need be,
and certainly by threats and intimidations,
• for the purpose of controlling , its sppropria
i tions through its ad interim chief, who shall
, say that Andrew Johnson is not guilty of
the high erinle ; and -misdemeanors charged
against him tit - the - gat eightrartieles ?
The respondont makes answer to this
view that the President believing this civil
tenure la* to be unconstitutional, had' It
right to violate it for the purpose of bring
ing-the matter before the Supreme Court
for its adjudication.
, we are obliged, in limina, to ask the: at
tention of the Senate'to this consideration
that they may take it with them as our Cast}
goes forward.
, We islaith that the queston• of- the emsti-,
tutionality of any law of Congress is, upon
• this trial, a totagy,- irKeleynnt one, because , . ,
"nll the power or right in the President • 'to"
• judg:e, upon any supposed coutlict-lif an act
of. Congress wnh.the paramount law of the
Constitution, is exhausted when helms ea

For the President to.refuse to execute a
law duly passed, because be it 1:111.
constitutional, after he had vetoed it for that
reason, would, in effect, be for him to"exe
cute his 'veto, and leave the law unexecnted.
It may be said he may do this at 14 pera..
True, but that peril is to be. impeached for
violating his oath of office, as is now being
done. • ,
If, indeed, laws duly passed by Congress
affecting generally the 'welfare of any . - con
siderable portion of the peopl e had been
commonly, or asatisage, dec by the
Supreme Court unconstitutional, and there
fore inoperative,
,there might , seem, to be
some ,Palliation, ,if not justification to the
Executive to refuse to execute a la* in or
der to - liave its constitutionality tested by
the Court. - _
It is possible to conceive of so flagranta
Case 'of unconstitutionality - as to be
such
shadow of jUstifauttion to the Exe6utive,
provided one'at the same time conceives an
equaly fiakrant case of; stupidity, ignorance
and imbecility, or, worse, in the represen
tatives of the people and in the , Senate of-
United - States; but both conceptions are so
rarely possible and absurd - as not - to furnish
aground of governmental action. -
How stands the fact ? Has the Supreme.
Court so - frequently declare& the laws of
congress in conflict with the bonstitition
as to afford the - President just ground for
belief, or hope even, that the court — ivill do
so in a given instance ? I think may
safely assert; as a legal fact, -that _since .the
first decision of the Supreme Court till the
day of this arraignment no law passed by
Congress affecting the general welfare, has
ever, by the judgment of that court, been
set aside or held for naught because of un
constitutionality as the groundwork df its
decision.
In three cases - only has the judgmeil of
that court been influenced by the suppose('
conflict between the law and the Constitu
tion, and they were cases ,affecting the court
itself' and its own duties, and where the law
seemed to, interfere with its own preroga
tives.
Touching privileges and prerogatives
have been the shipwreck of many a whole
some law. It is the sore spot, the sensitive
nerve of all tribunals, parliamentary or
judicial.
The first case questioning the validity of
a law of Congress is Hayburn's, (2 Dallas,
409) where the mixt decided upon_ the uri ,,
constitutionality of the' "act of March 23,
1792, Statutes at large, vol. 1, p. 244, which
conferred upon the court the power _ to decide'
upon and grant certificates of invalid pen
sions. The court heldthat such power could
not conferred upon the court as an origi
nal jurisdiction, the court 'receiving all its
original jurisdiction from the provisions of
the Constitution. This decision Would be
nearly unintelligible' were it not - explained
iu a note to the case In the United States vs.
Ferriem, (13 Howard, p. 53,). reporting
United States vs.- -Todd,- decided February
18,1794:
We learn, however, from both cases, the
cause of this unintelligibility of the decision
in Rayburn'? case. When the same ques
'titan came up at the Circuit Court New.
York, the judges, being of, opinion that the
law could not be executed by them as judges;
because it was - nriconatitUtional, yet deter
mined to. obey, At until ;tie -case could be ad
judicated by the Whole court.. They there
fore, not to violate the law, did execute it as
commissioners until it was repealed, which
was dozed the next year.
Thedudges on the circuit in Pennsylva
nia all pnitedin a letter to the Executive,
most humbly apologizing, with great re
am:, that their convictions. of duty did not,
pennit,thein to execute the law according to
its terms, and took speciiil care that this let
ter should accompany their decision, so that
they might not be misunderstood.
;.:Both examples it' would have been well
for this respondent to have followed before
he undertook to set himself to violate an act
of Congress.
The next case where the Court decided
upon any conflict between the Constitution
and the law _is Gordon vs. United States,
-tried in April, 1865, seventy-one years after
wards, two justices dissenting, without any
being delivered by the Court.
The Conn here dismissed an appeal from
the Court of Claims, alleging that,' under
the Constitution, no- appellate jurisdiction
could be exercised over the Cpurt of Claims
under an act of ,COngress which gave
visory power to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, over a decision of the Court of Claims.
This ,decision is little satisfactory, as it is
wholly without argument or authority cited
The next 'case is •ex parte Garland, (4
Wallach 333,) known as the Attorney's
Oath cage—where the court decided that an
attorney was - not an officer of the United
States, and therefore, might practice before
that;court without taking the test oath.
The reasoning of the court in that. case
would throw doubt on the constitutionali
ty of the law of Congress, but the decision
of the invalidity of the law was not neces
sary to the decision of the case, which did
not command a unanimity in the court, as
it certainly: did not the assent of the bar.
Yet,.,lii - this - cake it will be observed that
the court - made &rule requiring the oath to
.be administered to the attorneys, in- obedi
ence of the law untllit. came _before them in
a cause duli bronght up for decision, Thi
Sypreme Court obeyed the late up. to the time
it was set asidei They did not:violate it to
make a test case. -
Here=is another example to this respond
ent, as to his duty in the case, which he
wish he had followed, I may venture to say;.-
wben he hears the judgment of the ,Senate
upon the impeachment now pending.
There are several pther cases wherein.the
validity of acts of Congress have been dis
cussed before the Supreme Court, but none
where the, decision has turned on that: oint.
In Marbury vs Madison (1 ()renal, - 137,)
-Chief Justice - Marshall dismissed the case for
want of jurisdiction, - but: Wok opportunity
to deliver chiding opinion against the ad-
Ministration' , of Jefferson before le , did•to.
In the Died Scott'case, so, fanalliar to,the
public, the Court deeided it hmitio, jnrisdi
tion, but gai , e, the , Government And the
people a leeture uPon :their political du-
In the case of Fisher:vs, ,Blight, (2 Cradeb,
3580 the constitutionality of a law was very.
much disewned, but was = held valid by the
decision of the Couri: -• •
In United States vs.l - Coombs - (12 Peteri,
12,)" although the power'to declare law - of
„Congress in pi:lndict with the •-CoOstitution,

aiguando, yet the law itself was'.sustained.
... The cape_of Tojlaidvs.. Hagan, 48, 'Hew

Mr. President and , Senators, .can it be said
that the possible doubts throtirri.on three or
four acts of Congress ; as to their constitu
tionality, during a judicial 'experience of
i.
c i j
seventy-fiv years—hardly one to a- gnifem
tion—is a fficient warrant to the
..
Presi
dent of the nited States to set - aside and
violate any ct of Tongresis,whatever, upon
the plea thqt lie believed the. Supreme Court
would hold it unconstitutional when
_a
case involving the question should Come be
come it, and especially one much discussed
on its paisage, to which the whole mind of_
the country was turned during the progress
of the discussion, upon which he had ar
gued with all his power - his 'constitutional
objections,,and' which, after careful recon
sideration, had been passed over his veto.
• Indeed, you will hem an argument as a
Serrate. of the United states, a majority of
whom voted for that very bill, upon its con- .
stitutionality in the trial of an executive of
ficer for wilfully violating - it before it had
been doubted by any court:
Bearintupon this - question '
however, it
may be said that the President removed Mr.
Stanton for the very purpose of testing the
Constitutionality of this law before the
eourts, a'nd the question is asked : Will you
condemn . him as for a crime s for so doing ?
If this plea were a true cater it ought not to
avail; "but it is a subterfuge.. We shall show
-you• that he has taken no step to -submit the
question to any court; althougb More than a
year lias elapsed 'since the passage of the
' On the contrary, the ,Presulent has recog
itized its , validity and acted upon it in every
department of the Government, save in the
.War Department,' and .there, - except in re..
gard to the 11PM thereof solely. IVe shall
show you he long ago tallied. All the forms
of commissions and officiarbonds or all the
civil officers of the Government to be altered
to Conforni to its,reciuirement. Indeed, the
fact will not be denied, nay, in the very case
of Kr. Stanton, lie suspended hip under its
.revisions, and asked this verj.Bentge, -be.
ore whom he is now being tried for its vio
lation; to pass upon the sufficiency of his
reasons for acting under it in •so doing ac
cording to its terms; yet, rendered reckless
and mad by the patience of Congrese under
his usurpation of other powers, and his dis
regard of other laws, he Wildly avows in his
letter to the General of , the army that he in
tends to, dismard its provisions, • - and 'sum
mons the Commander of, the troops of this
department to seduce him frofm his , duty so
as to be able to command, in violation of an
other act of Congress, sufficient military
power to enforce his unwarranted decrees.
The President knew or ought. to have
known; his • official adviser, who
.now' ap
pears as his counsel, could, and did tell him,
doubtless,lhat he alone, as Attorney Gen
eral, could file an information in, the nature
of a guo warranto to determine this ques
tion of the validity of the law.
Mr: Stanton, if ejected from office, was
withouta remedy, because a series'of decis
ions has settled the law.to be that an ejected
officer cannot reinstate hiinself eitherby gun
warrant 1, mandamus, or ether appropriate
remedy in the courts. - -
-If the President had really deslied solely
to teat the constitutionality of the law or
his legal right to _remove Mr. Stanton, in
stead orbit( defiant message to the Senate of
the 21st of 'February, informing theta of the,
removal, but not suggesting, this purpose,
which is•thus shown to be, an afterthought,
he would have said, in substance : "Gentle
in -
men of the Senate, order to test, the con
stitutionality ofthe law entitled 'An act reg
ulating the• tenure of certain civil: offices,'-
which I verily believe to be unconstitutional

of E. M. Stanton from'the , office of Setretary
of the Department .of - War.' I felt mysdf
