Post Office Borrowing Sparks Senate Debate on Executive Power
In a July Senate discourse, critics denounce the Post Office Department for borrowing nearly half a million dollars on U.S. credit without Congress authority. They argue such authority rests with Congress, warn of implications for the President and other departments, and condemn attempts to assign executive borrowing to the Post Office. The debate references past presidential messages, constitutional limits, and the danger to legislative power.
