# Vice President Pence's letter to House Speaker Pelosi

Vice President Pence's letter to House Speaker Pelosi rejecting the possibility of stripping President Trump of his powers through the 25th Amendment, sent 12 January 2021.
The Vice President Washington
January 12, 2021
The Honorable Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Madam Speaker:
Every American was shocked and saddened by the attack on our Nation's Capitol last week, and I am grateful for the leadership that you and other congressional leaders provided in reconvening Congress to complete the people’s business on the very same day. It was a moment that demonstrated to the American people the unity that is still possible in Congress when it is needed most.
But now, with just eight days left in the President's term, you and the Democratic Caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment. I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution. Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exert power beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation.
As you know full well, the 25th Amendment was designed to address Presidential incapacity or disability. Just a few months ago, when you introduced legislation to create a 25th Amendment Commission, you said, "[a] President's fitness for office must be determined by science and facts." You said then that we must be "[v]ery respectful of not making a judgment on the basis of a comment or behavior that we don't like, but based on a medical decision." Madam Speaker, you were right. Under our Constitution, the 25th Amendment is not a means of punishment or usurpation. Invoking the 25th Amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent.
After the horrific events of this last week, our Administration's energy is directed to ensuring an orderly transition. The Bible says that "for everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. . .a time to heal, . . . and a time to build up." That time is now. In the midst of a global pandemic, economic hardship for millions of Americans, and the tragic events of January 6th, now is the time for us to come together, now is the time to heal.
I urge you and every member of Congress to avoid actions that would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment. Work with us to lower the temperature and unite our country as we prepare to inaugurate President-elect Joe Biden as the next President of the United States. I pledge to you that I will continue to do my part to work in good faith with the incoming administration to ensure an orderly transition of power. So help me God.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Pence
Vice President of the United States

May 6, 2009
THE VICE PRESIDENT.
The election process and recount in Minnesota have lived up to the state's reputation for organization, transparency, and bipartisanship. The officials have been meticulous and every ruling has been unanimous.
While Senator Amy Klobuchar is one of the hardest working members of the United States Senate, Minnesotans deserve their full representation.
Once the Minnesota Supreme Court has issued its final ruling in this case, the President and I look forward to working with Mr. Franken on building an economy for the 21st century.

# Vice President Kamala Harris Statement on the Passing of Vice President Walter Mondale

Published 2021-04-19. Cf. Statement from President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden on the Passing of Walter Mondale and A Proclamation on the Death of Walter Mondale.
Vice President Walter Mondale led an extraordinary life of service. He defended our nation as a member of the United States Army during the Korean War, and he protected our Constitution as Minnesota’s Attorney General. As United States Senator, he fought for equal justice—working tirelessly to ban discrimination in housing and to build the Great Society.
Under President Jimmy Carter, Vice President Mondale transformed the Office of the Vice President. He brought the President and the Vice President closer together, re-defining the relationship as a true partnership. Vice President Mondale worked side by side with President Carter as the two endeavored to end the arms race, promote human rights, and establish peace.
When he won the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 1984, Vice President Mondale made a bold and historic choice. He selected Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate—the first woman to be nominated as Vice President on a major party ticket in American history. With that nomination, Vice President Mondale opened “a new door to the future,” to borrow his words.
Vice President Mondale was so generous with his wit and wisdom over the years. I was able to speak with him just a few days ago and thank him for his service and his steadfastness. I will miss him dearly, and my heart is with his family today. I hope they find comfort in knowing that he is with his beloved wife, Joan, and daughter, Eleanor, now—and that his legacy will live on in all of us.
Each time I open my desk drawer and see his signature there, alongside the signatures of 11 other Vice Presidents, I will be reminded of and grateful for Vice President Mondale’s life of service.

# Views in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Northamptonshire/Troston Hall

Troston Hall. The Seat of Capel Lofft Esq$^r$
TROSTON HALL.
This seat is the neat retirement of Capel Lofft, Esq., to whom the Public are in a great measure indebted for their knowledge of the Farmer's Boy. The proprietor has been at considerable pains to make every appendage consistent with his own peculiar taste; to this end he has inscribed almost every tree in his garden and its vicinity to names of classic celebrity, such as Homer, Demosthenes, Cicero, Milton, Cowley, and many others: the large elm in the foreground of the View is called the Evelyn Elm, in memory of the antiquary and planter of that name. And to commemorate a visit to Troston Hall by the celebrated philanthropist Howard, in the year 1786, a Laurel was planted which now bears his name. Two horsechesnut trees and two oaks were planted here by R. Bloomfield in January 1805, which are carefully reared.
This estate was purchased by Robert Maddockes, Esq., in the year 1680, from whose family it came to its present possessor, by whom a very remarkable anecdote is related of the father of this Robert Maddockes, which exhibits a singular instance of the fluctuations of family greatness. He is said ​to have descended from the Maddockes of Wales, who formerly held the sovereignty of that principality; but the same combination of events which deprived them of a crown, reduced him below the rank of mediocrity; for this man, who could boast of a regal ancestry, was actually reduced to traverse the extent of country from Wales to London on foot in search of employment, at the age of thirteen, friendless and alone; and having heard that Cheapside was the most likely place to obtain what he wanted, on his arrival in town he repaired thither. After waiting some time, he observed a merchant soil his shoe in crossing the street. Full of ardour for any circumstance that might give rise to employment, he availed himself of this, and immediately ran and cleaned the shoe. The merchant, struck with the boy's humiliating, attention, inquired into his situation, and hearing his history, took him into his service: when some time had elapsed he employed him in his counting-house; and he afterwards became a partner in the firm, and acquired a considerable fortune.
Mr. Lofft is known in the literary world by various publications of a professional kind as a barrister; and several poetical pieces and essays of a political nature.

# Vigel v. Hopp/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
104 U.S. 441
Vigel v. Hopp
This is a suit in equity begun by the appellee to set aside a deed executed by her to the appellant, on the ground that the deed, though absolute on its face, was intended only as security for a debt, which has since been paid in full. There are numerous allegations of fraud, but the whole scope and purpose of the suit is to establish a trust, and get back the property in that way. The answer denies every allegation of fraud and trust, and insists that the deed was intended as an absolute conveyance, and not as security. This is responsive to the bill, and before the relief can be granted which is asked, these denials must be overcome by the satisfactory testimony of two witnesses, or of one witness corroborated by circumstances which are equivalent in weight to another. 2 Story, Eq., sect. 1528. The appellee is the only witness in support of the bill, and the corroborating circumstances are not, in our opinion, sufficient to overcome the answer. It will serve no useful purpose to enter into analysis of the testimony.
Decree reversed, and cause remanded with instructions to dismiss the bill.

# Views in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Northamptonshire/Whittlebury Forest

Their honor'd leaves the green oaks rear'd, And crown'd the uplands graceful swell, While answering thro' the vale was heard, Each distant heifers tinkling bell.
WHITTLEBURY FOREST,
In Northamptonshire, was a grant from the crown in the year 1685, to the Duke of Grafton, who was made hereditary keeper. The forest is well stocked with timber, and presents a beautiful variety of groves, lawns, and upland swells, enlivened by numerous herds of deer and flocks of sheep. There are several lodges on the Forest; the principal of them is Wakefield Lodge, which is frequently the residence of the Duke and his family. It was built by Mr. Claypole, son-in-law to the Protector Cromwell; but many alterations and additions have been made at subsequent periods. The edifice in its present state has a handsome portico in front, supported on four columns of the Tuscan order, and leads to a grand saloon, which occupies nearly the whole area of the building. The grounds about the house are admirably adapted to answer the purposes of utility and pleasure. The gardens are extensive and in excellent order. There is an uncommonly fine grove called the Pheasantry, through which is a winding path of a mile and a half in circuit, affording a most agreeable walk from the ​house, as it terminates at a short distance from its beginning.
The View is taken from a rising ground nearly two miles from the Lodge, in the front of which is seen a piece of water containing eighteen acres: in the distance on the left is Bow-Brick Hill, in Buckinghamshire. Near the back of the house two or three noble glades concentrate, which branch out in different directions through the extent of the forest. Bloomfield, who spent some time at the Lodge in August 1800, expresses the particular delight he found in taking a prospect of the country at the extremity of this wood:
Genius of the forest shades.  Sweet from the heights of thy domain, When the grey evening shadow fades,  To view the country's golden grain; To view the gleaming village spire,  'Midst distant groves unknown to me, Groves that, grown bright in borrow'd fire.  Bow o'er the peopled vales to thee!
Wake's Oak.
Where was thy Elfin train that play. Round Wake's huge Oak their fav'rite tree.
​by lightning; the tower only remains. Wake's Oak is reckoned about eight yards in circumference: its age cannot be ascertained, and the origin of its name is equally obscure.
# Views in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Northamptonshire/Sapiston

SAPISTON.
This pleasant village is worthy of notice from being the place where Bloomfield commenced his humble career as the ‘Farmer's Boy;' a situation which introduced him to the knowledge of those rural employments and occupations which he has delineated with so much felicity and correctness.
Here his first thoughts to Nature's charms inclin'd. Which stamps devotion on th' inquiring mind.
Here once a year Distinction low'rs its crest, The master servant and the merry guest, Are equal all; ———
vide Farmers Boy.
Sapiston Church.
Mean Structure where no bones of heroes lie The rude inelegance of poverty Reigns here alone.———
vide The Farmers Boy.
Forth comes the maid, and like the morning smiles; The mistress too, and follow'd close by Giles. A friendly tripod forms their humble seat. With pails bright scour'd and delicately sweet. Where shadowing elms obstruct the morning ray, Begins their work, begins the simple lay:—
The full-charg'd udder yields its willing streams, While Mary sings some lover's amorous dreams; And crouching Giles beneath a neighbouring tree. Tugs o'er his pail, and chants with equal glee.
The window seen at the gable end of the house admitted light into the usual dormitory of the Poet, where he (with the juniors of the family) was wont to find his way to bed at all seasons of the year without a candle. At a short distance from the farm-house stands Sapiston Church:
Hither, at times, with cheerfulness of soul. Sweet village maids from neighbouring hamlets stroll. ********The pride of such a party, Nature's pride Was lovely Poll.—
Ill-fated maid ! thy guiding spark is fled, And lasting wretchedness awaits thy bed. *******For in life's road, though thorns abundant grow, There still are joys poor Poll can never know.
Sapiston Church, like many others in Suffolk, is covered with thatch; from which circumstance it has many times been nearly unroofed by the pilfering of the jackdaws. In the churchyard lie buried Mr. Austin, the venerable master of Giles, Mrs. Austin, and nine of their infant children.
