His Imperial Highness, Norton I

Impeachment Decree

   SAN FRANCISCO--At the pre-emptory request of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I, His Imperial Highness Joshua Abraham Norton I, By the Grace of God Emperor of These United States and Protector of Mexico, do abolish and otherwise close the impeachment proceedings before the Congress of this Empire. In virtue of the authority in me vested, I do hereby order and direct the representatives of the different States of the Union to assemble in the Musical Hall of this city on the first day of May, then and there to make such alterations in the existing laws of the Union as may ameliorate the evils under which the country is laboring, and thereby cause confidence to exist, both at home and abroad, in our stability and integrity.

This is an attempt at humor... my sincere apologies to all parties.

Please send complaints to: Leigh S. Jones.
