v3 Chapter 351： The President has clashed with Congress!

, opening 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

On January 25, 1868, Ender, Vice President and President of the Senate of the United States of America, met with Al Gore, the Dutch ambassador to the United States of America, in Washington, and reiterated that the United States Congress of the United States of America continued to cooperate closely with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands The ambassador, on behalf of the Dutch government and other Dutch partners, said that they would make every effort to urge a fair, just and peaceful solution from the Lincoln government to resolve the current domestic crisis in the Commonwealth of America.

At the same time, Dutch Foreign Minister Heisbert Feng also summoned Deiss, the ambassador of the Commonwealth of America to the Netherlands in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Tolbeck expressed his dissatisfaction with the rude way the Lincoln government treated the Netherlands. The Netherlands will observe for a while. Will respond to this in due course.

In addition to summoning Dais, the ambassador of the United States of America, Haysbet Feng also met with Raymond, the representative of the United States of America in the Netherlands.

Haysbert Feng publicly stated that the Netherlands is very interested in the Confederate States of the South, and the two discussed that the Netherlands might send a political and business team to the southern capital of Richmond in the near future.

When the news came out, many people in the north suddenly became dissatisfied with the Lincoln government.

Since the beginning of the North American Civil War, the Netherlands has always stood in the north, including weapon support, military intimidation, and maintaining economic exchanges, etc., allowing the United States of America to fight the South and have an important and reliable ally in dealing with the United Kingdom.

It's good now, as soon as the war ended, the Lincoln government turned its face and refused to recognize anyone. This seriously damaged the reputation of the Commonwealth of Millikin in the world. With the help of interested people, many states of the Commonwealth of Millikin began to stage anti-Lincoln diplomacy. Policy parade.

At the same time, marchers held banners to remove Secretary of State Seward, from New York to Washington, and then to San Francisco in the west.

As the situation worsened, many members of the Democratic Party of the opposition party even went to the forefront of the marchers, forcing Lincoln to respond to the wishes of the people and replace the secretary of state.

The 50-year-old Heizer is a Dutch-American social scholar of the United States of America. He is also a core figure of the Democratic Party. Since January last year, he has been appointed as the Democratic Party's Senate Minority Party - Whip, which is the No. 2 of the Senate Democratic Party. figure.

He was said to be one of the most important figures of the party in the future, so he attacked Lincoln most violently.

One of the leaders of the opposition party met with the Dutch ambassador to the Commonwealth of Michigan, Al Gore, in Washington on February 1.

When meeting with Al Gore, the party whip stressed that the Democratic Party is willing to continue to develop friendly relations with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and that the Democratic Party, whether in opposition or in power, will deepen exchanges with the Kingdom of the Netherlands as a guide, and further consolidate the two. The development of the relations between the two countries will not allow those with ulterior motives to undermine the overall situation of the relations between the two countries.

For this, Ambassador Algol expressed his gratitude. On behalf of the whip of the Senate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, he invited Heizer to visit the Netherlands this month. He also asked Heizer to convey the friendly greetings from the Senate and even the entire Dutch Royal Palace to the Democratic Party.

The Netherlands actually interacted with the open show of the opposition Democratic Party, which, for the Communist Party, was nothing short of contempt.

Many people in the Communist Party were very angry, so they invited the top leaders of the Communist Party to discuss countermeasures.

Lincoln looked very embarrassed.

Seward agreed and was very angry.

However, before the two high-level Communist Party leaders could get angry, there were more waves coming from outside, which made them almost bewildered.

On February 3, 1868, Senate Majority Republican Leader xi-u and Senate President Andrew met in secret with Senate Minority Democratic Leader xi-u Stephen Douglas.

After the meeting, the two had a great conversation. Lincoln was furious when he heard the news.

You must know that this Stephen Douglas is Lincoln's old opponent. In the 1858 Illinois senatorial election, Lincoln and Douglas had seven major debates. In the end, the Democratic Party de Stephen Douglas defeated the Communist Party de Lincoln. Let Lincoln be frustrated for a while.

Douglas finally won the Senate seat in Illinois. In the 1860 presidential election, the two once again represented their respective parties and fought against each other. Finally, because of the liberation-emancipation-slave policy in Lincoln's slogan, most people in the country stood up. On Lincoln's side, Lincoln was eventually elected president of North and South America.

"Andrew didn't hesitate to make peace with my old rival?" Lincoln said with a livid face, "My Excellency Secretary of State, it seems that we will really be in trouble."

After the last riot in the Senate, Lincoln has now only been able to stick to the basics of Irish origin, which is not bad. Even now, many Irish congressmen have begun to complain that Lincoln had abandoned his old partner, the Netherlands, and chose to be too much with Germans. Approaching, this caused the dissatisfaction of many Irish compatriots.

Lincoln, of course, knew this.

But now the regret medicine doesn't appear casually.

If one fails, it's a matter of whether or not to make good friends with the Netherlands again. If you accidentally offend the Germans first, this is not worth the harm to the Irish.

However, he will not stop the Irish MPs from reconciling with Andrew in private. After all, the Irish still need the support of European countries to be able to fight against the United Kingdom.

However, the acting must be done enough, especially in front of Seward, the representative of German of Millikin.

Seward also looked bad. He didn't expect that the situation would develop to this stage. If he had known earlier, he might as well be quiet and slowly eat away the influence of the Netherlands It is better to boil a frog in warm water than to scald the water impatiently. The frog ran away.

And before running, he kicked the boiling water in the pot and splashed them all over. It was really hot!

Looking at Lincoln's appearance, Seward did not doubt that he was there, but he said in doubt, "Andrew walked in with the Democratic Party, why is this?"

Lincoln, who was thinking wildly, was taken aback for a moment. Yes, he forgot to think about this question just now.

What kind of mind did Andrew have to meet with the leader of the opposition party regardless of the senator leader of the ruling party?

Suddenly, the two of them thought of something, and their faces changed drastically.

The two of them actually shouted out at the same time: "Impeachment!"

On February 10, 1868, as early as after the Civil War, his tolerant attitude aroused the dissatisfaction of the radical-progressive members of Congress. Congressional radicals wanted to weaken President Lincoln's power, so as early as March 1867 passed two laws, the "Command of the Army Act", which required the president to pass all orders issued by the vice president, thereby depriving the president of direct access to the military. The second is the "Occupation Law", which stipulates that the president must obtain the consent of the Senate on matters concerning members of the people's cabinet and other administrative officials, thus making it difficult for the president to control his own government management.

Lincoln refused to enforce the two laws, arguing that they were unconstitutional, and ordered the removal of Attorney General Marty Grice, a decision the Senate disagreed with and Attorney General Marty Grice refused to leave.

As a result, the president clashed with Congress.
