"By Mr.Lincoln.

Whose Presidential term was he holding under when the bullet of Booth became the proximate cause of this trial?
Was not his appointment in full force at that hour?
Had any act of President Johnson up to the twelfth day of August last vitiated or interfered with that appointment?
Whose Presidential term is Mr.Johnson now serving out?
His own or Mr.Lincoln's?
If his own, he is entitled to four years up to the anniversary of the murder, because each Presidential term is four years by the Constitution, and the regular recurrence of those terms is fixed by the Act of May 8, 1792.

If he is serving out the remainder of Mr.
Lincoln's term, then his term of office expires on the 4th of March, 1868, if it does not before." At the conclusion of General Butler's argument, the Managers submitted their testimony in support of the charges brought by the House.

Some twenty-five witnesses in all were introduced by the prosecution.

Many of them were merely for the verification of official papers which were submitted in evidence.
