To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Has it ever been advanced, or can it be contended, that the matters on which Mr. Pol- lock's claim was founded were proper subjects of executive discretion at all, and much less exclu- sively so? If therefore they were presented to the accounting olncers of the treasury, and refused by them on that ground, for certainly it could have been on no other, is it any argument why the legis- lature should bestow no consideration upon them? Are Congress to shut their eyes upon the merits and justice of... a claim, because their executive of- ficers will not admit it? Does not the provision in the act of Congress before recited u that it shall 41 be the duty of the accounting ofHcers ofthetrea- 44 sury to make report to Congress upon all such 44 of the said claims as shall not be allowed to be 41 valid according to the usual forms of the treasury,'' directly militate against such an inference, and im- ply that Congress will exercise a legislative discre- tion on accompts rejected by the executive offi- cers ?
