No Power On Earth Can Stop Him Asserts Joe
Washington confronts a head on clash between Sen. McCarthy and the Eisenhower administration as the Senate inquiry into Army Pvt. G. David Schine’s treatment is briefly submerged by McCarthy’s pledge that no power on earth will stop him from obtaining secret information about corruption and treason. Brownell, with Eisenhower’s backing, argues executive branch duties defined by the Constitution prevent any single official from overruling presidential orders to federal employees. The row spills into the hearings with McCarthy’s sharp line of attack.
