Presidential Veto on March 1867 Military Reconstruction Bill
The veto message challenges Congress on Reconstruction and military authority, arguing the bill subordinates the President, empowers military officers to act as civil governors, and usurps executive powers. It contends the ten proposed “States” remain not true states and warns of a despotism that Congress should check, urging voters to act at the ballot box.
