of Reconstruction.
The Constitution expressly says, "The Executive Power shall be vested in a President . . ." And . . . . "All Legislative Powers herein
granted shall be vested in Congress. . . ." And yet the President has assumed legislative power, even to the extent of making
laws and constitutions for States. . . . It is an attempt by the
One Man Power to do what can be done only by the legislative
branch of the government.
