My object in this communication is to suggest certain defects in the Constitution which seem to me to require correction.
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.
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 danger of a defeat of the people's choice in an election by the House of Representatives remains unprovided for in the Constitution.
