...this was not all. The General began to treat with the Opposition, explicitly the Seiyu-Honto Party, which, as an indirect result of the murder of Premiar Hara in 1921, split from the Seiyukai in January, 1924. The significance of this last move, coming as it does on top of the others, was that it would, if successful, give General Tanaka no less than 250 seats, or an absolute majority of the House of Representatives.

The New York Federation of Women's Clubs has resolved that "no person except a natural-born citizen of the United States be eligible to be a Justice of the Supreme Court, a member of the Cabinet or Speaker of the House of Representatives."
