The Bonus Bill was an American bill submitted by Calhoun on the 23rd of December 1816, appropriating $1.5 million 'for constructing roads and canals and improving the navigation of watercourses.' The bill was passed, being strongly supported by New York and the South. It was supposed the money would immediately be applied to the construction of a canal between Albany and the lakes. President James Mason vetoed the bill during the last days of his administration, insisting that internal improvement measures needed a constitutional amendment. Accordingly, New York State undertook the construction of the Erie Canal.
