1829. Nov. 16. T 29
Constitutional Code.

Here then to these eight and twenty persons, no
one of them chosen located by the body of the people, no one of
them dislocable by the people — is given the power of
making internal regulations to an unlimited extent or at
any rate involving the confederacy in wars with any
foreign powers in case of the non-enactment of the
laws stipulated to be enacted.

Here moreover is the power of selling the whole
power of the State to any foreign power and or powers
at pleasure. This moreover with perfect and durably doubly
established impunity. For supposing the members of the
Senate in any number prosecuted & tried — (not that any
such power is given) who is there by whom the
accusation would be tried? The criminals themselves —
the Senators: for no other power is there established
for the trial of such offenses in any shape.

The accomplices too, the president, he also may be
impeached and tried? But by whom tried? — by those his
accomplices; for by no other persons according to this constitution can
he be tried.

Article II. §. 4. The President...shall be removed
from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason,
bribery, or other high crimes & misdemeanours.

Article I. §. 3. Clause 6. "The Senate shall have the
sole power to try all impeachments... When the president of
the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside.
and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence
of two thirds of the members present."
