What was the 1864 conflict between the US Congress and the Executive branch about?
During the US Civil War, President Lincoln's power seemed unstoppable to many people in the US Congress. The Congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War, harassed the president but nothing more than that. So, in order to try and retain some power in the international arena, the Congress passed a unanimous resolution opposing the recognition of the puppet French regime in Mexico, the Maximilian regime. At the same time, Secretary of State Seward was informing the US minister in France to inform Paris that Congress had no jurisdiction over the matter. The House of Representatives, angered over this passed another resolution. This one basically said that the executive branch had to respect the views of the Congress. This resolution never came to a vote in the Senate. At the time this problem was not resolved. It became resolved when the US sent troops to the Mexican border and the Mexican people retook their government and hanged Maximilian.
