* ''Ferguson v. Maddox'', 263 S.W. 888, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/263_SW_888.pdf#page=5 892] (Tex. 1924) ("The Constitution in this matter [] created nothing new. By it, something existing and well understood was simply adopted. The power granted to the House to 'impeach,' and the Senate to try 'impeachment,' carries with it, by inevitable implication, the power to the one to prefer and to the other to try charges for such official delinquencies, wrongs, or malfeasances as justified impeachment according to the principles established by the common law and the practice of the English Parliament and the parliamentary bodies in America. The grant of the general power of 'impeachment' properly and sufficiently indicates the causes for its exercise.")
