Interference in Elections by Executive Officers
The article surveys historical limits on executive branch interference in voting from Jefferson to Jackson, cites critics like Adams and Madison, and recounts debates over a Senate bill proposed by Mr. Crittenden to bar future executive meddling without disenfranchising office holders, while noting strong opposition from party leaders who value office holders’ support. It also notes Guatemala turmoil and a separate North East boundary incident involving Maine land trespassers and arrests, with reports of captured officials and military movements.
