Violating the Constitution.

Philadelphia Press. If a single marine is landed in Honolulu to overthrow this government it will be an act of war—war made by the President in defiance of his oath and in violation of the Constitution. This no one can doubt. The only possible reason for the presence of marines in Honolulu is the protection of the life and property of American citizens. With the form of the Hawaiian government our naval forces have nothing to do, and can have nothing. Theydidnotin January. They should not now. The President has no authority to make war a m landing troops to overturn a government de facto and de jure at Honolulu will be making war. SST’Subscribe for the Pilot.
