President Roosevelt rails against the United States Senate generally and six senators individually in a letter to Joseph Bucklin Bishop. Roosevelt expresses his frustration with the Senate for failing to ratify a treaty with the Dominican Republic. Roosevelt aims his wrath equally at three Democratic and three Republican senators for desiring to play a part in foreign affairs and then neglecting to shoulder their responsibilities.
