The president shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may
happen during the recess of the senate, by granting commissions
which shall expire at the end of their next session.
_Sect._ 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress
information of the state of the union, and recommend to their
consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and
expedient: he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both
houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between
them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn
them to such time as he shall think proper: he shall receive
ambassadors and other public ministers: he shall take care that
the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the
officers of the United States.
_Sect._ 4. The president, vice-president and all civil officers
of the United States, shall be removed from office on
impeachment for, and conviction of treason, bribery, or other
high crimes and misdemeanors.
III.
_Sect._ 1. The judicial power of the United States, both in law
and equity, shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such
inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and
establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts,
shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at
stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which
shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
_Sect._ 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, both in
law and equity, arising under this constitution, the laws of the
United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under
their authority. To all cases affecting ambassadors, other
public ministers and consuls. To all cases of admiralty and
maritime jurisdiction. To controversies to which the United
States shall be a party. To controversies between two or more
States; between a state and citizens of another state; between
citizens of different States; between citizens of the same state
claiming lands under grants of different States, and between a
state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign States, citizens or
subjects.
In cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and
consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party, the
supreme court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other
cases before mentioned, the supreme court shall have appellate
jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and
under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
