In Federalist Paper No. 67, Alexander Hamilton addresses concerns about the scope of executive power, particularly focusing on the President’s authority. Critics feared that the President would have the ability to unilaterally appoint officials and exercise unchecked power. Hamilton clarifies that the President’s power to fill vacancies during Senate recesses is temporary and limited, ensuring that permanent appointments are still subject to Senate approval. He also discusses the President’s role as commander-in-chief, emphasizing that military powers are checked by Congress’s control over funding and declarations of war. Hamilton argues that these checks prevent the President from becoming too powerful.
