““I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.””

Also quoted by Davy Crockett when he was in Congress and objected to a bill to provide $$$ to care for victims of a fire or whatever - I’ve forgotten just what the event was.
Don’t make them like this anymore...

Perhaps my memory is faulty as it seems he did not QUOTE that line but he was reminded when the bill came up that he or anyone else would be free to donate their own money - (it was for victims of a fire) but not their constituents money.....They say Crockett never forgot it...
