The Wilmington morning star., 1945-02-15

An issue affecting the fun
damental structure of the Ameri-
can government is now being ag-
itated by men like Mr.. Taft in
the Senate. 1t is whether the head
of an executive department, in this
instance the Secretary of Com
merce, is to continue to be what
he has always been, an assistant
of the President, or whether ne
is to become through control OF
the appointment-an agent of the
Legislature.
Mr.. Taft, and those who think
as he does, wish to reject MIR.
Wallace on the ground that he does
not have the confidence of ma
iority of the Senate. This is, sub
nit, a radical departure from the
American constitutional system,
wholly unavoidable and profoundly
dangerous. 1t is no wonder that
that true conservatives like Sena-
tor George will have none of it.
If the Senate asserts the power
to reject Mr.. Wallace on the
ground that it does not agree with
him, then it is claiming the power
to appoint the Secretary of Com
merce. If it says to the President:
"You cannot have Henry Wallace
in your Cabinet because we do
not like him. then it can say the
same thing to the next man and
the next man after that whom
the President dominates. 1t can
say to the President: THE only
man we are willing to confirm
is man that we, not you, have
named"
No such power is vested in Con-
gress. The Senate's power to con-
firm has never been regarded as
meaning the power to control the
selection of the Presidents Cabi-
net. The limits of the power of
Congress are clearly indicated by
impeaching him and convicting
him of treason. bribery, or other
high crimes and misdemeanors."
If Congress cannot remove Cab
met official because it does not
agree with him, then it has no
constitutional ground for refusing
to confirm him because it does
not agree with him.
The attempt to reject Mr.. Wal
lace is, to put it bluntly, usurpa-
ton of power which. if it sue
ceeded, would establish the right
of Congress, by rejecting any one
it had not chosen, to appoint the
executive officers of the govern
ment. The American system would
be unavoidable if Congress assu-
ed the power to appoint the Of
ficials through whom the President
performs his duties. For under our
system Cabinet officers are merely
his assistants, and their acts are
the Presidents act.
If Congress has the power to
control the selection of the Presi-
dents Cabinet, then what is to
happen if the President wants
Henry Wallace and Congress re-
fuses to confirm him? How is the
deadlock to be broken, and the
business of governing carried on?
Under the British Parliamentary
system, if the Legislature votes no
confidence in a member of the
Cabinet. the Prime Minister has
the right to dissolve Parliament,
hold an election, and let the
country resolve the conflict. But
the President does not have that
power. Unless he does nave it,
the Cabinet cannot be made the
creature of Congress without
paralyzing the government.
AS long as we have a govern
ment based on the separation of
powers, we muct as Madison said
when the question was debated in
the Philadelphia Convention, in
sist that the executive and the
Legislature "be independent of
each other" This independence
