More from Andrew Johnson
I transmit herewith, in answer to a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 16th of December last, a report from the Secretary of State of the 6th instant.
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.
The danger of a defeat of the people's choice in an election by the House of Representatives remains unprovided for in the Constitution.
