Resumption and specie payments debate in Congress
Debates discuss the path to restoring coin payments, reissuing $300,000,000 in legal tender, and the government pledge from 1869. Arguments cover the legality, practical effects on finance, and the role of Congress in determining when, or if, reissuance should continue as part of a sound monetary system.
