Excerpt from Special Message of President Pierce: To the House of Representatives of the United States; Transmitting His Objections to the Bill to Provide for the Ascertainment and Satisfaction of Claims of American Citizens for Spoliations Committed by the French Prior to the Thirty-First Day of July, O I have received and carefully considered the bill entitled "An act to provide for the ascertainment of claims of American citizens for spoliations committed by the French prior to the thirty-first of July, one thousand eight hundred and one," and, in the discharge of a duty imperatively enjoined on me by the constitution, I return the same, with my objections, to the House of Representatives, in which it originated. In the organization of the government of the United States, the legislative and executive functions were separated, and placed in distinct hands. Although the President is required, from time to time, to recommend to the consideration of Congress such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient, his participation in the formal business of legislation is limited to the single duty, in a certain contingency, of demanding for a hill a particular form of vote, prescribed by the constitution, before it can become a law. He is not invested with power to defeat legislation by an absolute veto, but only to restrain it, and is charged with the duty, in case he disapproves a measure, of invoking a second, and a more deliberate and solemn consideration of it on the part of Congress. It is not incumbent on the President to sign a bill as a matter of course, and thus merely to authenticate the action of Congress, for he must exercise intelligent judgment, or be faithless to the trust reposed in him. If he approve a bill he shall sign it; but if not, he shall return it, with his objections, to that house in which it shall have originated, for such further action as the constitution demands, which is its enactment, if at all, not by a bare numerical majority as in the first instance, but by a constitutional majority of two-thirds of both houses. While the constitution thus confers on the legislative bodies the complete power of legislation in all cases, it proceeds, in the spirit of justice, to provide for the protection of the responsibility of the President. It does not compel him to affix the signature of approval to any bill unless it actually have his approbation; for, while it requires him to sign if he approve, it, in my judgment, imposes upon him the duty of withholding his signature if he do not approve.
