...Congress' flouting of the President's wishes during his vacation absence consisted of nothing more serious than overriding his veterans' pension veto, taxing Philippine coconut oil, extracting teeth from the Stock Exchange Bill. The nation was still in crisis, Franklin Roosevelt was still its supremely popular leader. Congressional elections were only half a year away...
