STOUT OPENS: TJia limit

tional Amendment; and such amend
ment, no matter how many citizens
concurred to Its adoption, would to
effect be saying to all of us and to
our children, "We can’t trust you

you happen to like him, you are so

I don’t have as low an opinion as
that of the American people or of
their children. I think the voters of*
1960 or 1972 can be trusted to decide^
for themselves whom they want for
President, and we have no right to
make it Impossible, or at least ex
tremely difficult, for them to elect
the one man they may consider
qualified above all others for that
Job. If the framers of the Constitu

it unwise so to hobble their descend
ants, are we so much wiser, or have
we better reason to distrust the in
telligence of our children?

WHERRT
CHALLENGES:
Limiting Presidential tenure certain
ly would not imply, as Mr. Stout
feels, that wa cannot trust self-gov
ernment; rather, self - government
— .M be free of unduly-influenced
elections. Our Constitution provides
for amendment Thus Is afforded the
right to protect ourselves and our
form of government against danger
ous ambitions of any man or group
of men. The fr_mera of our Constitu
tion, fearing a too-ambltious, power-
lustful executive, discussed this very
question and left the ultimate de
cision to the American people. They
can adopt or reject a constitutional -
amendment limiting Presidential ten
ure. How else can we prevent an
intrenched bureaucracy?
MR
STOUT
REPLIES:
Senator
Wherry, in effect, calls the framers
of our Constitution half-wits. He
says they feared a “tod-ambitious,
power-lustful executive." tnd then
what? Did they include a provision
limiting Presidential tenure? No
siree. They deliberately left It out of
the Constitution they were writing
In 17S6 just to give us a chance to
put it to an amendment in 1943! In
other words, according to Senator
Wherry, we ought to do it now
because they didn’t do it then. By
that amendment one could Justify an
amendment requiring senators to
stand on their heads while debating,
which would probably cause no un-
provement.
