Examples

“Section. 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.”

“The only responsibility and power of the Vice President under the Constitution is to faithfully count ⟳ the electoral college votes as they have ⟳ been cast ⟳. The Constitution does not empower the Vice President to alter in any way the votes that have ⟳ been cast ⟳, either by rejecting certain of them or otherwise. How the Vice President discharges this constitutional obligation is not a question ⟳ of his loyalty to the President any more than it would be a test ⟳ of a President’s loyalty to his Vice President whether the President assented to the impeachment and prosecution of his Vice President for the commission of high crimes while in office. No President and no Vice President would—or should—consider ⟳ either event as a test ⟳ of political loyalty of one to the other. And if either did, he would have ⟳ to accept ⟳ that political loyalty must yield ⟳ to constitutional obligation. Neither the President nor the Vice President has any higher loyalty than to the Constitution.”
