Srn: In response to House resolution of the 4th instant, "requesting the Secretary of the Treasury to inform this house if the Union Pacific Railroad Company and other railroad companies named in an act approved July 1st, 1862, entitled' An act to aid in the construction of a railroad,' &c., have com­ plied with section 20 of said act, and if ~o, to fo.rnish this house with copies of said reports," I have the honor to transmit herewith the following : · Statement marked A.-Printed report of the Union Pacific Railroad Company for the years 1863 and 1864. Statements marked B, C, and D.-Copies of reports of said company for the years 1864, 1865, and 1866.

Tilden, appointed by the Secre­ tary of the Interior. The convention then adjourned to meet at the same place on Wednesday morn­ ing, September 3, at 10 o'clock. Upon the reassembling of the convention, September 3, the committee on the order of business reported the following resolutions, which were adopted: .1. That the speedy completion thro.ugh the territory of the TT nited States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, of a i:ailway communication affording adequate means of transit for persons and property, has become an urgent necessity, not only in facilitating and augmenting the commerce and developing the agricul tural, mmeral, and fiscal resources of our continental Union, but pre-eminently in providing for the public defence, and perpetuating the political unity of the Atlantic and Pacific portion of the republic. ~- That the eastern division of this great continental chain, extending from the Atla,ntic ocean to tbe Missouri river, having already been completed by the capital and enterprise of companies incorporated by the several States, it was eminently proper for the United States to incorporate a national company for completing the residue, reaching· from the Missouri to the Pacific, with such aid from the national treasury and resources as seemed to be necessary; and that the country may well rely on the continuance of the same wise and paternal policy to expedite the efforts 9f the company to complete the work with all prac­ ticable despatch.

  • Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History
    Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History Updated February 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45087 Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History Summary Censure is a reprimand adopted by one or both chambers of Congress against a Member of Congress, President, federal judge, or other government official. While Member censure is a disciplinary measure that is sanctioned by the Constitution (Article 1, Section 5), non-Member censure is not. Rather, it is a formal expression or “sense of” one or both houses of Congress. Censure resolutions targeting non-Members have utilized a range of statements to highlight conduct deemed by the resolutions’ sponsors to be inappropriate or unauthorized. Before the Nixon Administration, such resolutions included variations of the words or phrases unconstitutional, usurpation, reproof, and abuse of power. Beginning in 1972, the most clearly “censorious” resolutions have contained the word censure in the text. Resolutions attempting to censure the President are usually simple resolutions. These resolutions are not privileged for consideration in the House or Senate. They are, instead, considered under the regular parliamentary mechanisms used to process “sense of” legislation. Since 1800, Members of the House and Senate have introduced resolutions of censure against at least 12 sitting Presidents. Two additional Presidents received criticism via alternative means (a House committee report and an amendment to a resolution). The clearest instance of a successful presidential censure is Andrew Jackson. The Senate approved a resolution of censure in 1834. On three other occasions, critical resolutions were adopted, but their final language, as amended, obscured the original intention to censure the President.
