power In this country. mot even in the

Mr.. Foraker contended that the power
OF the President must be deduced from the
Constitution of the United States. The
power the President derived from Con-
gress was his legal power. It was not
necessary. he said. to go to British pre-
cedents TO ascertain this powel. as the
Supreme Court of the United States had
spoken on the subject many times. and
always had said simply 1t was the Presi-
dents power to command"
Mr.. Foraker emphasizsd his position
that II Congress had spoken ON any sub
Ject relative to army regulations, there
was no room for the exercise Of any
power to the contrary on the part OF
the President. on matters of regulation
on which Congress had not spoken, the
Constitution gave the President power to
make necessary regulations.
