the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when

the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the

their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves

disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he
may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall
receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care
that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the
officers of the United States.

misdemeanors.

time, ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and

which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
