Written by a future Chief Justice

The District Attorney might refuse to obey the President’s order; and if he did refuse, the prosecution, while he remained in office, would still go on; because the President himself could give no order to the court or to the clerk to make any particular entry. He could only act through his subordinate officer, the District Attorney, who is responsible to him and who holds his office at his pleasure.

Cornell law is NEVER a place I go for the TRUTH. ESPECIALLY anything to do with the constitution.

Biased, wrong, agenda driven. Cornell? Who knew? /s
