Corwin Defends War Powers in Senate Debate 1847
In the Senate on February 11 1847 Daniel Webster oration style remarks argue for a special appropriation to wage war with Mexico and defend presidential war powers. Corwin critiques pacific warnings from Calhoun Cass and others, warns against apathy, cites Texas annexation and Mexican aggression, and stresses congressional restraint and unity for national security. The speech highlights fears of executive overreach and defends the Union’s war strategy and fiscal mobilization.
