Just keep in step' [graphic]. 1973 Apr. 13. 1 drawing. still image sti rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia sheet nb rdacarrier Cartoon shows a small man, labeled "Congress," being hustled away from the Capitol by three hulking men in fedoras and black coats. All three men have President Richard Nixon's features and are labeled "Executive Privilege," "Impounding of Funds," and "Veto Power." After Nixon won re-election with a huge majority in 1972, he announced an ambitious domestic program that he called the "New American Revolution." Determined to destroy any opposition, he used all the weapons at his disposal to force Congress to accept his plans. This included the pocket veto of 11 bills after Congress adjourned in 1972 and the impoundment of funds for programs enacted by Congress. In addition, he extended the principle of executive privilege, refusing to allow members of his staff to testify before Congressional committees, most notably the Watergate Committee chaired by Senator Sam Ervin. Many people feared these actions were causing an erosion of Congress's powers and a consequent increase in the powers of the president. No known restrictions on publication.
