system as one Of the most important
matters before Congress and, the
President The latter has decided
there is more important matter
than the economical and businesslike
administration Of national affairs,
namely his prerogatiees. so he We
toed the bill because it provided for
two new officers to be appointed by
him and removed by concurrent res
olutiop rather than by impeachment
proceedings. the existing method. At
least that is the reason to be inferred
from his explanation, but the fact is
pertinent that although he had the
matter before him May 90 he did not
act on it in time for the Senate to
make the amendment for which he
expressed a desire.
