With regard to impeachment, the President is on similar ground as the governor of New York and worse ground than the governors of Virginia and Delaware. The President's veto power is no more than that of the governor of Massachusetts. The governor of New York may forgive while the President may not forgive the cases of impeachment. I disagree with this because suppose the governor could be involved in a scheme and if exposed prior to actual activities pardon all accomplices. The president could not shield others from impeachment and conviction for similar acts, but the governor of New York has superior powers to the President, he not only appoints but also can cast an approving vote if the council of four senators is divided on the appointment.
