Senators Receive Letters From President on Army Policy
Three U.S. senators—Stewart of Vermont and two others—received letters from President Roosevelt within days, arguing the president’s command authority over army and navy actions. The letters touch on the Brownsville affair and the banishment of Col. William B. Stewart to a desert post, igniting Senate debate over executive power and accusations of sympathy with murderers. The exchange signals a potential Republican caucus response as the Brownsville and Thaw references are cited in defense of the president’s stance.
