The Presidency of the United States is one of the greatest political offices in the world. Its occupant has become -with the exception of the Central European dictator-the most powerful head of a government known to our day. He is absolutely free with respect to the exercise of his powers and tenure of office, except that all appointments made and treaties concluded by him are ratified by the Senate. As his term of office gose by calendar, his responsibility to the electorate is unenforceable.He can only be impeached by the Senate. His conviction by the Senate cannot carry a greater penalty than removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honour, trust, or profit in the United States.
