Norrls Against Provision.. Against this very provision Senator Norris argued hefore the House com- mittee in the Sixty-eighth Congress, the House) failed, as they might very casily do, because of and if by that time the Senate had elected a Vice President, he would become President, but would remain President only until the House succeeded electing a President. That is the way your resolution is now. It is quite ap- parent, [ think, to all of us that that would glve the House four years in which to elect a_President. The House could elect the President at any time during that four vears, and after the House elected a President the Vice President would have to, step down and become Vice Presidlent again. Now the argument has been made, and it seems to me a well founded one, that that would make the Presi- dent subject to the will of the House; that they would by that means secure a strong hold upon him, and would be able to do anything they pleased with him.
