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.
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.
My object in this communication is to suggest certain defects in the Constitution which seem to me to require correction.
