To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When he pledges himself to collect tiie revenue and to enforce the laws in those States, unless Congress withholds the requisite means to enable him to do so, is he not to be understood that whetlior he does enforce them or not depends upon the future action of Congress? I think that is the proper con- struction of his language. In a subsequent paragraph he says: " The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the Government, and to coll...ect the duties and imposts. " What power? Does he mean that wliicli has heen confided, or that which may be confided? Does he mean tliat he will exercise the ])ower unless Congress directs the contrary, or that he will exercise it when Con- gress confers it? I regret that tliis clause is understood by some per- sons as meaning that the President will use the whole military force of the country to recapture the forts, and other places, which have been seized without the assent of Congress. If such was his meaning, he was unfortunate in the selection of words to expiess the idea.
