vacate his judicial office. Nor
shall he, during his continu-
ance therein be eligible to any
political office ::
But we are of opinion that
no state can prescribe any
qualification to the office of
United States senator in add.
ton to those declared in the
constitution of the United
States.
This provision according to
the settled rule of construction
must be so constructed as to
attribute to it a meaning not
inconsistent with the constitu.
ton of West Virginia. This
can we'll and properly be done
by holding it to mean eligible
to Office under the constitution
of West Virginia.
I'VE therefore. find that Mr..
Faulkner has been constitu.
tionaily elected to the seat In
the senate made vacant by the
expiration of the term of Mr..
Camden and that hejs entitled
to take the :oath."
In June. 1852, Lyman Trum-
bull was elected judge of the
supreme court of the state of
Illinois, for term of nine years,
and on Febr uary 8. 1855, he was
elected to the senate of the
United States from said state
for the term beginning March
4, 1855. The constitution of the
state of Illinois provided that a
judge of the supreme court was
not eligible to any Office of pub
lie trust or profit in the United
States during the term for
which he wac elected nor for
one year thereafter When
Senator frumbell presented
his credentials to the senate
objection was made on the
ground that he was ineligible
because of the inhibition in the
constitution of Illinois. The
committee on elections 10
whom it was referred, referred
the same back to the senate,

of the whole, established q pre-

ton leaves no conflict between
the constitution of the state
and the constitution of the
United States. 1t leaves both
supreme upon matters upon
which they have a right to
speak. It is in accordance
with the doctrine laid down in
the case of ex-party Seibold,
100 U. S. 81, viz, "The consti.
tuition and laws of the United
States are the supreme law of
the land. aud to this every citi.
zen of every state owes obedi-
ence whether in his individual
or official capacity. There are
very few subjects. it is true, in
which our system of govern.
ment, complicated as it is, re-
quires or gives room for con-
joint action between the state
and national sovereignties.
Generally the powers given by
the constitution to the govern.
ment of the United States are
given over distinct branches of
sovereignty, from which the
state governments either ex-
pressly or BY necessary impli-
cations are excluded"
The subject of a qualification
of a United States Senator is by
implication necessarily exclud-
ed, for the constitution of the
United States has undertaken
to define the qualifications of
United States senator. When
a state constitution provides
that certain officers ehall not
be eligible to any Office during
the term for which they were
elected. it means such Offices
90 are provided for or are sub
ject to the mandates of such
constitution.
The power to appoint a
United States senator does not
come from the constitution of
the state. It comes from the
constitution of the United
States. and hence the constitu-
ton of the state is no restric.
ton or limitation upon either
the appointing power or the
eligibility of the appointee to
the senate of the United States.
