NEVERTHELESS the office seems to suit
" the temper of the American people, which
prefers strong, one-man, executive authority.
In the history of this country there have
been constitutional changes affecting the
Congress. The method of choosing the men,
bers of the L. S. Senate was completely
altered by amendment.
There have been frequent popular move
ments TO change the powers of the u. s.
Supreme Court, and one notorious, recent
attempt to make that court subservient to the
will Of the President. But no proposal to alter
the authority of the President himself has ever
made progress in this country. From the time
of George Washington to the present day his
power has grown. New powers have been
added, but none has ever been permanently
taken away Outside of the great Dictator
ships like Russia and Nazi Germany, the
presidency is the most independent and auto
cratic executive authority in the world.
4 RE there then, no limits to the Presidents
n power? In the past there have been
several but they are no longer as operative
as they have been. The powers Of government
and administration that lay closest to the
lives of citizens, were exclusively vested in
the governments of the states. All un-

states or to the people.
At the beginning. and for long while,
federal laws federal courts to enforce these
laws, and federal administrative officers were
few. All this has gradually altered, and in
recent years the proclamation of a national
emergency and our involvement in World
War have completely changed the pattern Of
American government at least temporarily
Actually if not legally our admins
tration is no longer federal, decentralized
or removed from intrusion upon the private
lives of citizens. 1t is centralized, inclusive,
dominating even in state and local affairs,
and still completely under the Presidents
direction.

THE answer to this question is, that so far
/ AS the Presidents powers are concerned
with the execution of federal laws and in
terests. they are not. The Constitution,
specifically and by enumeration, limits the
powers of Congress- but it bestows the entire
executive power of the national government
upon the President
AS executive the Presidents authority is
wholly his own; it is completely centralized;
it is as broad as the entire range of national
authority and he need share it with no one.
He is not politically answerable to the
Congress, and, to the nation, only once in four
years.

ished by our first President George Wash
ington. These traditions were continued by
his successors and notably l should say, by
Thomas Jefferson.
What were called "the traditions of the
American Constitution" at one time, seemed
binding. An English scholar, interested in
our government, wrote a whole book upon
them. He seemed to think that tradition had
force in our Constitution equal to that in the
British.
This has not proven to be the case. A
member of our Congress recently declared
that there are mo traditions in our con-
stitutional system. The most discussed ira
dition of the American presidency, that
misunderstanding more than two terms has
been repudated by the President himself.
A THIRD limit upon the Presidents au-
"A thority, that of publicity, still operates
under the freedom of the press and the right
of private criticism. Even this is now under
attack. But publicity is the last remaining
practical control upon the Presidents power.
1t is and should be, continuous, bright light
turned upon every occupant of the White
House.
No statesman in the world possesses so
great and sympathetic an audience for every
word that he~ptters, as does the President
of the United States. II is of the utmost
Importance that this interest be preserved.
But even so, this publicity has limitations
So far as it concerns the PUBLIC actions
and messages Of the President it operates.
But at all times. and most so at this time of
war. there may be secret actions taken,
particularly Of diplomatic character There
mo NrnttV &c Of ha
given.
THIS is the situation which at this moment
i is giving concern TO the Congress and 10
the public. The Congress is a branch of
government coordinate with the President
It's role is Of equal legal authority and of
equal importance.
In fact. in all governments the legislative
branch is the real citadel of representation
of the people Elsewhere il has been the first
institution 10 be attacked, manned or sup
pressed by modern dictators of the state. In
our own case the President knows and prop
erly knows, every action and every contem-
plated action Of the Congress. But, on the
other hand, the Congress, at the present mo-
ment, processes ignorance of the Presidents
actions and of his commitments, especially TO
foreign governments.
The right of the Congress TO share in this
knowledge to participate in the commitments
which the President must and will make 10
other nations is a right that cannot be prop
erly denied. Yet 1t is being denied.
