Andrew Johnson: “Copies of the letters which they have addressed to me upon the subject are accordingly herewith inclosed.”

The danger of a defeat of the people's choice in an election by the House of Representatives remains unprovided for in the Constitution.

No power exists in the Constitution authorizing the joint resolution or the supposed law--the only difference being that one would be more palpably unconstitutional and revolutionary than the other.

The foregoing views have long been entertained by me.

The danger of a defeat of the popular choice in an election by the House of Representatives is no greater than in an election made nominally by the people themselves.
