[Philadelphia, 1800].. 12pp. Dbd. Slight age-toning, else very good. A detailed report by a House committee responding to a Senate bill intended to resolve disputed elections of the president and vice president of the United States. Essentially rewriting the Senate's proposed version, this House version recommends the appointment of a joint committee, consisting of members of the Senate and the House, with the power to examine all disputes concerning these elections, including the role of the members of the Electoral College. The final recommendation is to change the title of the bill to read simply: "An act prescribing the mode of counting the votes for President and Vice-President of the United States." Evidence of early attempts in the Federal period to resolve disputed elections, this REPORT is of particular interest, as it was written as the voting (which lasted from April to October) began in the disputed presidential election of 1800 in which Thomas Jefferson defeated John Adams.
