"It has become an interesting question here whether it will not check, if not entirely stop, the machinery of Government, if Congress persists in its proposed measures abridging the powers of the Executive. For instance, if Congress persists that appointments shall be made by the President in a certain manner, and the President does not choose to appoint at all, there is no Constitutional authority to compel him to. Hence in case of vacancies in important offices the damage to the interest of the country is obvious."
