Speech of Mr. Mercer, in Reply to a Motion of Mr. Rives, of Virginia, to Strike From the Military Appropriation Bill - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the historical power struggle between the Legislative and Executive branches of the US Government, specifically regarding the power to approve or deny funds for the construction of national roads and canals. An 1824 act of Congress gave the President authority to survey such projects, a power that the author, a member of the House of Representatives at the time, argues has been abused by the current administration. With an extensive look at historical records, including surveys commissioned by the President, the author contends that the funds have been allocated not to benefit the nation as a whole, but to curry political favor. The book provides insight into the separation of powers, the role of the President, and the proper funding of infrastructure, themes of vital importance to the nation's past, present, and future.
