III. Each State is entitled to only one vote: and it will be cast according to the wishes of a majority of the members in the House from that State. If, for instance, a State has fifteen members, eight belonging to one party and seven to another; the eight, being a majority, will, if agreed, cast the one vote, the minority having no voice in the election. Should there be an even number of members from any State, and should they be equally divided between two candidates, there might be one-half of a vote for each candidate. Q, In case of a failure on the part of the House of Representatives to elect a President before the fourth of March, what then? A. The Vice-President must act as President. ELECTION OF VICE-PRESIDENT BY THE SENATE. Q. Can the Senate ever elect a Vice-President? A. Yes, when the people have failed to elect a Vice-President, then the Senate must elect. Q. How is this done? A. I. Two-thirds of all the Senators constitute a quorum. II. The Senate must vote for the two persons who received the highest number of votes for Vice-President. III. A majority of all the members elected to the Senate is necessary to a choice. IV. Should there be a tie in the Senate, the Vice-President may give the casting vote. V. Should the Vice-President have succeeded to the presidency, or have vacated his office, and the President pro tem, (a Senator), preside, in that case there might be a tie, and no election reached. THE PRESIDENT PRO TEM. Q. What are the provisions for filling temporarily the office of President, when vacant? A. I. In case of the removal, death, resignation, or inability, of both the President and Vice-President of the United States, the President of the Senate pro tem., and in case there be no President of the Senate, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall act as President of the United States for the time, until the disability be removed, or a President be elected. II.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. I. The term "Electoral College" means the presidential Electors when assembled as a body to cast the vote for President and Vice- President II.
