Shall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice?... Shall the man who has practiced corruption, and by that means procured his appointment in the first instance, be suffered to escape punishment by repeating his guilt?”]]> 2019-12-20 14:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239590 mssheft https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239591 “It is indispensable that some provision be made for defending the community against incapacity, negligence, or perfidy of the chief magistrate. The limitation of the period of his service is not a sufficient security. He might lose his capacity after his appointment. He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers.” ]]> 2019-12-20 14:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239591 mssheft https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239592 “The Executive will have great opportunities of abusing his power…particularly in time of war, when the military force, and in some respects the public money, will be in his hands.” ]]> 2019-12-20 14:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239592 mssheft https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239593 “A good magistrate will not fear [impeachments].

Why, recourse was had to assassination in which he was not only deprived of his life but of the opportunity of vindicating his character. It would be the best way therefore to provide in the Constitution for the regular punishment of the Executive where his misconduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal when he should be unjustly accused.”]]> 2019-12-20 14:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239594 mssheft https://padlet.com/mssheft/x51njo42afwr/wish/426239595 I most agree with the reasons stated by ________________________ because…
