President vetoes Fitz John Porter relief bill in full
The President returned the Pitt John Porter relief bill to the House with objections. He argues the measure creates a new office and breaches constitutional limits by directing executive appointment. He cites the Porter court martial, its findings, and argues the bill would undermine judicial authority and established law. He warns against setting a dangerous precedent and preserves the pardon power. A fuel of tragically mangled deaths is also reported from Lexington Kentucky.
