It is sacred to all freemen, and formidable to tyrants only. I have endeavored, Mr. Chairman, and I think, successfully, to show that Congress has the Constitutional right to withhold supplies from the Administration in time of war. I admit that withholding supplies is rather an extreme measure. It is like ihe veto power of the President a power never designed for ordinary exercise. I'am no advocate for lawless opposi tion to any Administration. I would justify no factious act. The question bef...ore us is, whether, on a full view of the whole ground, the present case will justify the exercise of this lawful prerogative. Every one who has paid any attention to the progress of our institutions, must have witnessed the constant increase of Executive prerogative and power. The veto power has now become an ordinary power in the hands of the President, and no Chief Magistrate has ever been guilty of a greater abuse of it than the present incumbent of the White House. This abuse of the veto power just ly merits the rebuke of Congress.
