ident? Have we ever been threatened with a case of
this kind? Which presidents have been elected by the house? Has a
vice-president ever been chosen by the senate?

Specify four differences between the old and the new way of electing
president and vice-president. Which was the most important change? What
statement in the twelfth amendment was unnecessary in the original
provision? If "two-thirds of the senators" are present, are two-thirds of
the states necessarily represented? What is the smallest number of
senators that could elect a vice-president? How many times has the
vice-president succeeded to the presidency? What caused the vacancies? Is
the result of the election known before the meeting of the electors?

Who is our present minister to England? Would a son of his born in England
today be eligible in due time to the presidency? Make a comparative table,
giving the qualifications, mode of election (general), and term of
representatives, senators and president.

Who is now vice-president of the United States? Have we ever had more than
one vice-president at the same time? Name the persons, in their order, who
would succeed to the presidency if the president should be unable to
perform his duties. If the president should become insane, who would
decide that such is the fact? How long would the person thus succeeding to
the position of acting president serve? State four ways in which a vacancy
in the office of president may occur. If the president leaves Washington,
is a vacancy created? If he leaves the country? If he is impeached? In
case of the non-election of either president or vice-president, who would
serve? How long? How is a vacancy in the office of vice-president filled?

At what "stated times" is the salary of the president paid? In November,
1872, President Grant was re-elected. His new term began March, 1873. In
the meantime the salary of the president was increased to $50,000. Did
President Grant get the increase? Explain.

Does the vice-president take an "oath of office?" If he succeeds to the
presidency must he take the oath prescribed in the constitution? What
constitutional provision for the salary of the vice president? Compare the
duties of a governor of a state with those of the president.

_Debate._

Resolved, That the president should be elected by a direct vote of the

term forbidden.
