Then he fastens Mr. Zybach's invention to the steering wheel of the tractor, putting the spoon-end in the furrow. He starts the tractor, climbs out. The tractor, guided along the furrow by Mr. Zybach's invention, continues to make shorter and shorter trips around the field, until it comes to a stop in the middle...

Then the Senate could attach any stipulations for removal which it pleased. For example, it could have the Secretary of the Treasury appoint the Comptroller General, and have the Secretary of Commerce appoint the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Constitution makers were cautiously indefinite about the unknown ground between the powers of the President and Congress. It has always been ground teeming with potential...
