Roosevelt’s Veto Blocks Desertion Record Removal
President Roosevelt issued his first veto to Congress opposing a bill removing the desertion charge from John Glass’s naval record. He argued desertion is a grave crime, especially in wartime, and emphasized the need for clear proof of innocence and loyalty to the Civil War veterans. The Senate report notes Glass enlisted in 1864 at 16, was ashore after witnessing an incident, and his youth plus that order led to desertion, justifying the committee’s stance.
