Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, I, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, I, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Michigan Law Review
Decidedly the most important and best considered debate in the history of Congress, is what Wm. Evarts calls the debate that took place in 1789 in the first session of Congress, under the Constitution, on the question of the nature of the power of the President to remove his appointees from office. The character of this debate is discussed elsewhere in this magazine." Suffice it to say that as a result it was decided then by Congress that under the Constitution the President has the absolute power of removal of all his appointees, without the assent of the Senate. This …
The Power Of The Senate To Amend A Treaty, Bradley M. Thompson
The Power Of The Senate To Amend A Treaty, Bradley M. Thompson
Articles
The recent refusal of the Senate to ratify eight general arbitration treaties which the President had concluded with Austria-Hungary, Switzerland, Great Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, and Norway and Sweden, until, against the protest of the President, it had modified them materially by amendment, has called public attention to the treaty-making power, and has raised the question as to whether or not any of that power is vested in the Senate.

Administrative Powers Of The President, John R. Fairlie
Administrative Powers Of The President, John R. Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
Turning now to those particular branches of administration where the Constitution confers on the President special powers, we shall find that in these fields he has still more ample authority. Not only do the constitutional grants guard him from encroachment on the part of Congress, but they enable him at times to assume a large degree of legislative power.
Administrative Powers Of The President, John A. Fairlie
Administrative Powers Of The President, John A. Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
It is the purpose of this paper to discuss, with some effort at systematic classification the powers of the President of the United States, through which he maintains an effective and responsible control over the whole federal administration. The position of the President in this respect offers a striking contrast to that of the state governors, which is not always fully appreciated in comparisons of the state and federal governments; and an analysis of the President's authority may well suggest some inquiry as to the relative merits of the centralized executive of the federal government, and the decentralized and unorganized …
Presidential Inability, Thomas M. Cooley
Presidential Inability, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
The protracted illness of President Garfield led to much discussion and a variety of opinions as to what constitutes a disability in the Presidential office which will justify the Vice-president in assuming its duties.
The Method Of Electing The President, Thomas M. Cooley, Abram S. Hewitt
The Method Of Electing The President, Thomas M. Cooley, Abram S. Hewitt
Articles
Twice in the history of the United States the nation has been brought to the verge of civil war by difficulties growing out of presidential elections. And yet no system was ever devised with more care to preclude any reasonable complaint.
The New Federal Administration, Thomas M. Cooley
The New Federal Administration, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
After four months of feverish excitement and anxious and depressing expectancy, during which no one could anticipate what a day might bring forth, and the prophets of evil with general accord tuned their voices to disaster, the heart of the nation made a great leap for joy when President Hayes, on the steps of the Capitol, proclaimed his firm purpose to carry into practical operation the pledges contained in his letter of acceptance. The mists which hung over the political affairs of the nation at once disappeared, the depression gave way to cheerful confidence, and dangerous excitement was supplanted by …
Some Checks And Balances In Government, Thomas M. Cooley
Some Checks And Balances In Government, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
The purpose of the present paper is not to discuss the broad general subject of checks and balances in this, or any other, government. but to call attention to a few considerations only. These, in the main, affect the executive and the judiciary, rather than the legislature; and they will serve to show, perhaps, that neither of them can always, and under all circumstances, rely upon any very sure protection to its legitimate powers. It is one thing, unfortunately, to put intricate machinery in motion, and another, and quite a different, thing, to make it, under unforeseen occurrences, work out …
The Guarantee Of Order And Republican Government In The States, Thomas M. Cooley
The Guarantee Of Order And Republican Government In The States, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
A short time ago, the whole country was plunged into a condition of anxiety and excitement by the conflicting claims to the executive authority in one of the States, and by the preparations made, and measures set on foot, to support them.
