President vetoes army bill over elections and civil power
The President returns the Army Appropriation bill to the House with objections. He argues that section six intrudes on civil authority by limiting federal power to protect elections and maintaining that Congress may not attach unrelated election laws to spending measures. He warns such a precedent threatens constitutional balance and executive independence, urging a return to single subject appropriation bills.
