The Federalist No. 67

Summary: An overview of Federalist Paper #67, written by Alexander Hamilton, in which he defines a crucial power of the president within the executive branch of the proposed constitutional government.
In The Federalist No. 67 by Alexander Hamilton, a crucial power of the President of the United States and the Senate within the Executive Branch is defined and clarified. In introducing his idea, Hamilton states the sufferings Americans endured in an attempt to coexist with a tyrannical government. Therefore, he renders it necessary to make clear the intentions behind the Executive Department. Propaganda has instituted that the intended President of the United States has a pretense similitude with the King of Great Britain, an idea that is not only bogus but a flagrant miscarriage of justice. The similitude originates with the power of filling casual vacancies in the Senate. However, the intended President of the United States is granted the power of filling these casualties temporarily, if the Senate is in recess and until the Senate's next session. The first clause states the power of the President to fill casualties and the second deduces that power. The power stated in the first clause is limited only to certain circumstances stated in the following clause. Had the purpose of the government been or tyrannical purposes, the President would have the sole power of appointing these positions. But, of course, the powers are shared. Hamilton states that the facts presented are undeniable by the ant federalists who proposed the propaganda against the Constitution of the United States of America.

After the contradiction of the anti federalists' ideas by the evident ideas of the Constitution, it seems obvious that the Constitution is sufficient for the country. In reading this federalist paper, the true intentions of the Constitution and the government are unveiled to the American people. The powers among the Executive Department are distributed in equilibrium, even when in regard to the President of the United States, the country's intended leader. Hamilton states that he is unhesitant to expose the fallacies of the anti federalists' rumors, and that it is frankly necessary to do so. In such an effort to defend the Constitution, Hamilton proves that it is for a good cause and is necessary to have a central-based government.
