Const Code

1830 April 20 (written 23 May 1823) T 21

So much for the complication produced by the
division thus made in the Legislature.

To the evil mass of complication another addition is
made by the adding to the share given to the
body in the Legislative power Department, another share in the
Executive.

☞ The more proper place for this part of proof the enquiry inquiry may
perhaps be in the Chapter on the Executive.

By the Constitution of the United States—Article II, §. 2,
clause 2, to the President it belongs to "nominate, and by
and with the advice & consent of the Senate" to "appoint
ambassadors, other public ministers and Consuls, Judges of the
Supreme Court, and all other Offices of the United States, when
appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which
shall be established by law." Nominate he may all these
several functionaries by his own power: appoint them — that
is to say locate them — he cannot without the advice and
consent of the Senate composed as it is of 48 members that is to say the majority of that the whole
same number — to wit 25.

Here then instead of lying with all its weight on the
shoulders of a single person as under the here proposed Constitution all responsibility in respect of the
the exercise of this most important and corruptive branch of the Executive
power is divided among twenty five or and thereby in other words destroyed
altogether.
