The present document directs appearance for testimony to be given in the trial of Justice Samuel Chase, the only U.S. Supreme Court Justice ever impeached. Signed twice by Samuel Allyne Otis (1740-1814), Secretary of the United States Senate (1789-1814). Samuel Chase (1741-1811), an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and signer of the Declaration of Independence, was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1804 on charges of political bias and misconduct in his judicial conduct, spurred largely by the Jeffersonian Republicans' hostility to Federalist judges. His impeachment trial in the Senate in 1805 became a crucial test of the separation of powers. Chase was acquitted on all counts, a verdict that set the precedent that judges could not be removed merely for political disagreements, thereby strengthening judicial independence. 1402183.
