On each occasion, in 1912 and in 1924, the division in Con- gress was such as to'make it highly probable that the House of Representa- tives could not have chosen a President, and quite possible fhat the Senate could not have found a majority for a Vice President. Des&ue these recent ‘examples of the. uncertainty of the sys- tem ldid down by the Constitution, no serious effort has been made to change it. 1In case it does npt work, we have one recourse, although its constitution- ality is doubtful. We could fall back on the succession law of 1887. The law provides who shall act as President if .the, incumbent is, inca- pacitated by removal, death or disabil- ity. Neither that law nor the Consti- tution makes any specific provision for a vacancy caused by failure to elect. We could merely assume that & vacancy in the White House caused by no elec- tion was in effect-a vacancy from re- moval, death or disability. The Constitution s that i the lat- ter cases the Vice sident becomes President, and if he, foo, is removed, dies or is disabled, Congress may pro- vide for who shall act. Congress, in 1887, provided that the Secretary of State should *“act as President” in such an event, and if he in turn was for any reason.unable to function, the successive officials to take the place were the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Attorney General, the Postmaster Geheral, the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Interior. These officlals form the line of presi- dential succession, as it is called. The Secretaries of .

They have not entered into the contest this year but they are certain to came up again if ‘history goes on'répe-ting. Prior to 1887 the vresidential succes-. sion was governed by an act of ‘1783, which placed the President pro tem. of the Senate next in line after the Vice President. After him came the Speaker of the House, and then the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Presidential eligibility is séldom con- -sidered in ahmnnm Cabinet, as the ‘presidential office never yet fallen to any one ranking below the Vice President in .the line of succession. Many Oabinet members have been men ineligible by birth to the prumm;{ Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane having been a recént example. He was mentioned for the presidency be- fore it was recalled that he was born in Canada. Had the presidential succes- sion ever got down tb him, he could-nat have acted. Of course, there has never been a serious danger of the death or disability of the whole line of succession at once, although when Lincoln was ascassinated there was a plot to kill the Vice President- and several Cabinet members also. The Cabinet was not then in the line of succession. ‘The murder of President Garfield was declared by some to have inaugu- fce Presi- ve vetoed| ifig during the OCTOBER 25, 1928 been a deliberate plan to get Vice Pres- lent Arthur into the White Housa in the interest of a group of office seeke.s. lMld elgl .nid Anh'.h ‘ur r:pru;g rival leaders] in eir party. e charge of a pmp'wu never substantiated, and was undoubtedly merely the heated | John cy Adams 4 > pomdgmlg the presidency was tion, but the puhlic got tired of custom. words of a thoughtless moment, al- though the of Garfield was himself a inted seeker after a minor public office who may have had %ld notion in his brain. : idents have never given much thought to the succession laws, and Cleveland ited a as Secretary of State, Walter Q.

Lincoln ap- pointed four Democrats and three Re- Ppublicans to his first Cabinet, a course vigorously opposed by Seward and other Republican leaders. Seward sur-ested that the Secretary of State (himself) be made, a sort of super-Cabinet officer ar premier, with direction over the other department heads. He thought the President needed a kind of assistant President. Lincoln sald he would tend to the premier business himself, and that whichever side he took in Cabinet discussions would be the majority.
