More from Andrew Johnson
I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State of the 2d instant, together with accompanying papers.
The orders issued by me upon this subject are in accordance with long-established usage and hitherto unquestioned authority.
For these objections, and many others that might be presented, I cannot approve this bill, and therefore return it for the action of Congress required in such cases by the Federal Constitution.
Feeling constrained to withhold my consent, I herewith return the resolution to the Senate, in which House it originated, with a brief statement of the reasons which have induced my action.
