Reverdy Johnson on third-term ban and veto power in England
A terse legal and political column discusses Reverdy Johnson's letter to the New York Herald on Grant's third term, arguing a constitutional prohibition is not required to deter such a precedent. It contrasts U S veto traditions with England's historic prerogative, notes Washington era norms, and cites potential one-term amendments and global reflections. The piece derides sensationalism, cites historical context, and hints at broader political consequences.
