Representative *Montague, Demo- crat, of Virginia. after criticizing the method by which the committee re port assembled or assessed the evi dence, says, “I am compelled to con clude that he is unfit for any official position of high trust and responsibil- ity.” Representative ‘Tucker, Democrat, of Virginia, who was one of the sub- committee of three to draft the report on impeachableness of Commissioner Penning, states positively that ‘& Commlssioner of the District of Co lumbia Is not an impeachable officer.” Reviewing the whole evidence, he comes to the conclusion “that Commis- sioner Fenning’s usefulness as an off cer of the District is at an end.” Ile recommends that “a copy of the evi- dence be sent with the committtee’s report to the Attornev General. that that high offcer. in fulfillment of his conatitutional obligations, may take such mepsures as will meet the re- quirements of the case.” Says Committee Lacks Right. Representative Michenar. Repub- lican, of Michigan joins in the major- ity decision that Mr. Fenning is not an impeachable officer. He does not joln in the remainder of the report. arguing that “if Mr. Fenning is not subject to impeachment, then any- thing that the committee might say in reference to his conduct as A Commis- sioner of the District of Columbia would he obiter dictum and bevond the scope of its authority and would be establishing an unwise precedent in impeachment cases before the committee.” Representatives Dominick, Demo- crat, of South Carolina and Weaver report that ‘“positive action by the * House Is imperative and we there- fore recommend his impeachment and removal from office and that pro- ceedings he instituted at once by the | properauthorities to remove him | from his present position as guardian | for these unfortunate wards and to | have all their estates audited: also to | vacover back to them the funds which | has wrongfully collected from and that i he them.
