President enforces limits on internal improvement power
The President returns to the House the Maysville road bill with objections, arguing Congress cannot grant broad power to construct internal improvements within states. He urges restraint, reviews historical precedents from Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and later administrations, and warns that without a disciplined plan the Treasury will strain under growing appropriations. He calls for balancing national needs with constitutional bounds while stressing the republic’s future stability.
