My object in this communication is to suggest certain defects in the Constitution which seem to me to require correction.
The danger of a defeat of the people's choice in an election by the House of Representatives remains unprovided for in the Constitution.
I would therefore recommend such an amendment of the Constitution as may remove all intermediate agency in the election of the President and Vice-President.
