PRESIDENT VETOES BUDGET 5YSTEM BILL Unsuccessful Effort Made in Mouse to Repass Measure.?In Entire Sympathy With Object Sou?h?. f Washington, Jane 4.?President Wil son tonight vetoed the bill establish in<? a national budget system and cn unsuccessful attempt was made in the house to pass the measure over his veto. The vote was 178 to 103, or nine less than the required two-thirds majority. Thirty-five democrats jpTned with Republicans in voting to riass the measure. L. 1 The vote came at midnight and ' * when the motion to override was de\feated leaders were undecided what frould be their next move. Supporters of the measure were expected, however, to urge that it be amended to meet the president's objections and repassed tomorrow. The president said that under the bill congress would have authority to . remove the comptroller general from * office and that this authority should be reserved to the executive depart ment. Notifying congress that he was returning the bill without his signature. President Wilson in his veto message said: "I do this with the greatest regret. I am in entire sympathy with the objects of this bill and would gladly approve it but for the fact that I regard one of the provisions contained in section 303 as unconstitutional, - . . i rr*\ _x p This is in the provision to tne eireci / that the comptroller general and the i assistant comptroller general, who are 1 to be appointed by the president, with the advice and consent of the senate, may be removed at any time by concurrent resolution of congress after notice and hearing when ir their judgment, the comptroller general is incapacitated or inefficient 01 has been guilty of neglect of duty nr of malfeasance of office or of anj felony or conduct involving mora! turptitude and for no other cause except by impeachment. "The effect of this is to prevent the removal of these officers for anj cause except either by impeachm n1 or a concurrent resolution of congress. It has, I think, always beer the accepted construction of the , constitution that the power to appoinl ' officers of this kind carries with il the power to remove. "I am convinced that the congress is without constitutional powers tc limit the appointing power and its incident power of removal derivec from the constitution. "The section referred to not onlj forbids the executive to remove nfflnore undertakes to em IIIC^C O VViV ?vower the congress by a concurred rekolutioij to remove an officer ap pointed by the president with the ad vice (and consent of the > senate. 3 can ^nd in the constitution no war i rant \for the exercise of this by th? ' congr^^s. There is certainly no ex presse^ authority conferred and I an unable < to see that authority for th? exercise of this powei is implied in any expressed grant oJ poweir. On the contrary, I think its exercise is clearly negatived by Sec tion ^wo of Article 11. That sectior afte^r providing that certain enumer ated officers and officials whose ap pointment are not otherwise provia ed for shall be appointed by th( president with the advice and con sent of the senate provided that con /gress may by law rest the appoint ^ / ment of such inferior officers as thej nmnor in thp ^resident alone rUliUXk V^/Vi. ? _ in the course of law, or in the head; of departments. It would have beei within the constitutional power o: i congress in creating these offices -t< r have visited the power of appoint ment in the president alone, in th< president with the advice and con sent' of the senate or even in th< head of a department. Regarding a: I do the power of removal from of fice as an essential incident to th< appointing power, I can not escap< the conclusion that the vesting o: the power of removal in the congres; is unconstitutional, <tnu am unable to approve the bill. "I am returning the bill at th< earliest possible moment with th< hope that the congress may find tim< before adjournment to remedy thi: c defect."
