President Warns Against Constitutional Omissions In Power Talks
In a candid address the President reflects on limits to presidential power under the Constitution. He warns that reform zeal can tempt legal overreach and urges sticking to lawful change, not altering the Charter at every disputed point. He notes fear of executive overreach and emphasizes the need for disciplined restraint. He cites support for Peary and Cook records and the National Geographic Society debate on Arctic discovery. He underscores that law changes, not personal will, will sustain reform.
