Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arguments During the Impeachment Trial of Governor William Sulzer May it please the Court: A valid impeachment by the Assembly is a condition precedent to the exercise of jurisdiction by this Court. Without such impeachment by the Assembly, acting in conformity with the constitutional safeguards, there is such an absence of duo process of law as will render the proceedings pursuant to which this tribunal has been convoked, a nullity. It has been frequently declared by the highest authorities that an impeachment by the House of Commons, the House of Representatives or the Assembly, is the equivalent of an indictment. The impeaching body acts as the accuser, or, as Blackstone phrases it, as "the grand inquest," and can exercise that function only when it observes the requirements of the organic law and has been set in motion in accordance with its provisions. Hence, if it should appear that it has acted without constitutional authority, or in contravention of the terms and conditions imposed by the Constitution, its action goes for naught and cannot be made the basis of any proceedings before a Court for the Trial of Impeachments. A valid impeachment is an essential prerequisite to the exercise of jurisdiction by the Court. In the epigrammatic words of Mr. Justice Brown, who but a few days ago died in the fullness of years: "Jurisdiction is the right to put the wheels of justice in motion and to proceed to the final determination of a cause upon the pleadings and the evidence." Illinois Central R. R. Co. v. Adams, 180 U. S. 34. The parallel between an impeachment and an indictment has always been recognized (4 Bl. Com. 259-62 and authorities hereafter cited).
